E-Z Flip: First introduced in the year 2000 with just a couple other flip style shoes available and an exploding population of flip pitchers, the E-Z Flip Horseshoe was an instant success in this new millennium as the very first flip shoe with a ringer breaker! E-Z Flip has it all-- Extremely heavy tips, a narrow but effective ringer breaker and a lower/flatter rear thumb cleat for truly "E-Z" flipping! With its heavily weighted tips, it feels like it is pulling out of your hand, beginning its flip before you let it go… practically flipping by itself. E-Z Flip features a square shape instead of a curve, creating a wide rear gripping area, giving the pitcher ample room to adjust grip left to right, the same way turn pitchers can adjust up and down the side-blades of a traditional shoe, finally equaling the playing field! The edges on E-Z Flip are smooth and nicely rounded, helping to reduce fatigue and blistering, allowing the shoe to slip out of your hand with ease… a dream come true for the flip pitcher! Every Thoroughbred Horseshoe can take a serious beating… it’s part of the plan from the beginning, as we know our customers well! So, they should all last quite a while even with heavy pro-level usage… hence the two-year warranty. But if used only occasionally, a set of Thoroughbreds may last a lifetime.
