Details on each model:
Bronco:
The Bronco was introduced in
1998 and quickly became one of our top selling shoes. It
answered the cry for a true flip shoe that would grab a hold of the
stake and a pile of ringers and hang on! Bronco's reversed toe
cleat (the signature feature of all true flip shoes) makes it
perfect for the flip pitch. This shoe, with its claw-like
cleats and it's circular cut-out hooks holds the stake better than
many of its competitors. It's economy price also makes it a
winner in almost every way!
Cal-Flip:
The Cal-Flip was invented and
patented by Pete Donoho in the mid 1980's and it was the very
first true "flip shoe." Yep, this is the one that started
it all! You flippers can thank Pete for inventing this
whole category of horseshoes! He was a top player in the
western U.S. and wanted a shoe that would land cleats down for
his flip pitching and take away that advantage that turn
pitchers had over the flippers. His invention, the
Cal-Flip Horseshoe, put all players on even ground, no matter
how they pitched their shoe. It was a revolution in the
horseshoe world that totally legitimized the flip style of
pitching within the sport.
Snyder E-Z Flip:
The Snyder E-Z Flip is one of the
most advanced flip shoes ever made. Three things stand out
about this shoe... It's extremely heavy weighted tips, it's slim
but very effective pointed ringer break and its very low thumb
cleat. This is a combination of features that have turned
this shoe into one of the most renowned shoes on today's market.
It's pretty hard to top this one! This is the shoe that
seven-time world champ, Sue Snyder currently pitches. Many
other champions pitch it too. So, that should tell you
something!
Snyder E-Z Flip II:
There isn't a lot to say
about this shoe that hasn't been said above... Sue also pitched this one to
a world championship, but unlike many flip pitchers, she prefers the shoe
with the ringer break. This shoe is identical to the E-Z Flip, except
it does not have the pointed ringer break. Many players loved that new
E-Z Flip shoe but just couldn't pitch it due to the ringer break. So
we developed this shoe just for them. It turns out that it has become
more popular than the original, so we're quite glad we gave this one a shot!
Snyder
Flip-Grip:
This shoe has caught
fire right out of the gate just like the Alan Francis All-On, which shares
the same textured gripping pattern. This shoe has the famous
thumb-centering cleat that made the Stinger horseshoe a great success.
Other than those two striking features, this shoe is identical to the E-Z
Flip II in shape and it pitches just like it. The texture really helps
you keep hold of the shoe during delivery and that thumb-centering rear
cleat helps you find the middle every time without effort... one less thing
to think about sure helps those ringers come easier!
