This shoe features a square shape instead of a curve, allowing for a wider gripping area for flip pitchers than a traditionally shaped shoe. With a generic U-shaped shoe, the turn pitcher has an advantage over a flip pitcher in that they have more room along the blade of the shoe to adjust their grip. As you can see by its shape, when pitching with the CHALLENGERS, no one has that gripping advantage. This is the perfect professional styled shoe for clubs to purchase in quantity for use in league play. It has the universal qualities of the Mustang due to the unique double sided heel cleats-- You can throw any turn or flip equally well.
