Challenger
The Challenger 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 Challenger, no one has that gripping advantage.
The Challenger was designed to compete directly with the Gordon Horseshoe when it was made in the US by Queen City Forge in Cincinnati, OH. Manufacturing rights of the Gordon shoe were sold by Queen City a few years ago and it has since been revived by Omega Horseshoe Company in Utah, who has shipped the manufacturing overseas to a forge in China.
The body of the Challenger shoe is nearly the same as that of the Gordon, but it has improved hooks and sharper points so that it holds the stake better and measures better than the Gordon shoe. It feels just about the same, but should throw even better because the tips are even heavier than what was on the Gordon. You really can't go wrong with the US made Challenger! 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. It is priced to be sold in quantity.
