Wow....just wow.

Welcome Mark, you definitely have the right stuff! Thank you for posting, keep em coming! I’m afraid you are too advanced to take advice from me. I will defer to the sage veterans. You will receive some excellent feedback here.

Great video Mark!

From a tip on here, I learned that the plastic Everlast ball swivel is still available directly from Everlast.com. Not listed on the website, I had to call, and ask for part number 4440U, they're 5 bucks each, and $6.95 shipping. I think they'll let you buy a few at a time.

I'm new, just made the switch a couple weeks ago. Came from LMF swivel like yours. It's my first ball swivel, never tried the Arc or Deville or any other, so it seems just fine to me. I used it as-is awhile. Not nearly as much slower as I'd expected. Hardly at all. Or, I was just busy adjusting and improving my accuracy (it has) so didn't really notice.

Then I found an old Everlast metal ball swivel on ebay (they're on there a lot), and switched out the plastic to the metal ball, like Alan (Speedbag) details in some thread here that I cannot find now.

Except on bags with very thick loops - I opted to file the opening a bit, but I guess you could also just really mash it in there.

Good luck, and nice to have another 408er here

Hi Guys my name is Mark, thank you for having me.

I’m 12 years old , I have the rank of CGN blackbelt 1st degree, I train several hours a day. I’m really liking the speedbag and amazed by the work you all do. Here’s a short vid i did and I would appreciate any feedback or tips (especially side punches).

my setup is really fast for boxing and I notice everyone is using old skool ball swivels, I can’t find one and don’t really know what to look for so and help/ suggestions would be appreciated.

Wow! Very impressive!

Do yourself a favor and buy the speed bag bible book and DVD.

Welcome to the forum!

Impressive video! You are more advanced than a "white belt bagger".
