I never sold the Arc Pro. The "Pro" really stood for "prototype", not professional. Only around 20 were made and I gave them all away. Except for Ralph. That arse insisted on giving me money or he wouldn't accept it.

From the reviews i’ve read on this forum, your prototype has turned out to be pretty awesome. Congratulations!

I wish I had found this forum during the early SpeedB.A.G gathering years. Those events were epic.

Wow. Keep rubbing in how I don't have one!
lol just kidding

I think the Pro will last a lot longer than regular Arc. Some guys like G-town can really give the standard Arc a torture test on a regular basis and it does wear down.

I regret not having bought you an Arc Pro while they were still available. Please let me know if you make more in the future. It would be an honor to have one installed on my platform.

Agreed with all, think mine will last forever! I dont imagine a better swivel will ever be imagined!

I am not selling the Arc any more. Never say never, but it has been months since I made any.

Great product and outstanding quality, thank you so much for giving us your time. If there is ever a resurrection put me on top of the list.

You made a lot of bagger happy with your Arc swivels (myself included). Thank you very much!

You can add me to the list. The arcswivel changed everything for me and for that I am truly greatful. Thanks Rusty

Yep, well said!! #Ditto

I probably should have posted an announcement thread or something about this, but I just don't feel like it, and there has been very little interest in the Arc lately.

But we had a good run there for a while. I sent out over 200 swivels! That is still hard for me to believe. Each one took a lot of work. A lot of time.

Yep. Definitely one of those Get 'em while they're hot! situations.

I would have liked to be a member of the forum when the Powermill and the deville were available. At least I have 2 Arc swivels and i love them.

[rdshackleford]

The Powermill and Deville both disappeared and now the Arc is out of production

I use the forza ball swivel too. The brass ball leaves some gunk from wear over time so I clean it with wd-40. It seems to keep it moving free and faster.

Haven't used one of the forza's for over a year now but one of mine is faulty. The ball doesn't flow smoothly and there are no obstructions within the plastic housing inside. lubrication doesn't work - nuttin' works. Thing is a dud. The two others still work like new (I imagine) they're just shiny platform decorations now.

The newer Forza ball-hooks actually have a wider hook (where the bag sits) and they also hang 1/8" lower - like the hooks weren't already too wide or too low.

EDIT: The Ringside Heritage bags with their ridiculously thick loops sit perfectly in a forza hook. Nice and snug.

Welcome aboard Marvell, and nice board as well!
