MsD's Trainer Raul tries out the POWERMILL Swivel

[MsDeville]

Well, I got my Powermill Evil Swivel on Friday. I was hesitant to show it to "Trainer Raul" since he's a die-hard Watkins ball-hook man. But, when he saw it last night, he offered to put it up so we could try it out. It was a chilly 40°F (5°C) out at the woodshed, but it took only a few minutes to install it.

I adapted to it quickly, and was amazed at its smoothness. Reverse fist rolls are a cinch. There's little resistance. I love it!

Here is a short clip of Raul trying it out for the first time. (He works out solely on the red Everlast bag.) He was duly impressed by both its construction and performance. Yes, it makes a little more clacking (clickety-clack) than the Watkins ball hook in plastic housing, but not bad, in my opinion.

I'm all-aboard with this swivel. It's got crazy loco-motion...and I'm happy to say, it's full-steam ahead for me and the POWERMILL... okay, enough puns.

Thanks Jumpcannon! This swivel is a fine addition to my addiction!
I give it 5 gold bags!

Brrrr... that's cold. Bagging is so much harder on the hands at that temp, you guys have motivation!

Love that move Raul is doing I-DES ''' O-DES (switch arms and Repeat) (at least I think that's what it is). He does it well, very well.

Ditto. I'm loving mine more everytime I use it.

That's his whole workout – 4-5 days a week, for 45 minutes straight, that's all he does, and not even with music!!! Very boring in my opinion. Raul's a Piece Man – in construction, it's someone who comes on the job and makes money "by the piece." They hone their skill by doing the same thing over and over and over till they can do it fast and accurately, thus earning more moolah in less time. In his workout, even though there's no money as a motivator, he still possesses that competitive spirit and trains hard.

I'm a little more (a lot more!) laid back. This is probably why I'm not exactly perfect in the execution of my punches. I need to take a refresher course from him. Although, the new swivel will probably help me to improve. Gotta get out and punch on it...

Where did that guy come from? He is vicious on the elbows! Excellent vid! Thanks for the 5 gold bags!

Sounds like my old workouts, before I started hitting to music. Just non-stop hitting and thinking about any subject that came to mind.

Word. He's a killer! (in a good way...)

Yeah, I tell him all the time he could put an eye out with those elbows!

It's insanity I tell you! I gotta have my music. Being a relatively recent convert to daily physical activity – – it's still hard for me to relate to the intensity in which many people work out. It's an endorphin thing, ain't it?

Thanks, Alan. I'll pass the comments on to Raul...

I love the rhythmic clickety-clack of my powermill swivel!

As for Raul, WOW! Smokin’ fast!

Great elbow work Raul!!!! Great to finally see Dee's trainer in action! Now I see why she is so awesome on the bag!!!!

Yes, I like that little extra "sound effect" too. It adds to my punch-drumming.

As for Raul, WOW! Smokin’ fast!

Great elbow work Raul!!!!

Thanks guys. I've passed these comments on to Raul. He's kinda bashful when it comes to being on camera.

Great to finally see Dee's trainer in action! Now I see why she is so awesome on the bag!!!!

Why, thank you, Daniel! That means a lot to me. Yes, Raul has inspired and taught me a lot in the art of speed bagging.

Wow on both the swivel and Trainer Raul!
