The zooter was really just another fancy name for a slider.

For the flipper, keep it pretty much to a regular leg spin grip. But you don't use your main spinning finger - instead, it's almost like a "clicking" action that your fingers make as you let go of the ball. You squeeze it out, trying to get as much backspin on it as possible, and when you've delivered it your thumb sticks out towards where the batsman is, and the rest of you hand is almost like a clenched fist. The index and middle finger move back on the ball, while the thumb underneath pushes forward; all of which gets backspin on it.
