I love playing around with different swivel variations. In my other post about having Dee make an eyeless ball hook, I found a video of a guy who either still is or at least was a member here who also came up with an eyeless ball hook. But he went further and made a leather strap to go thru the bag loop and then onto the hook. Since it is different than just an eyeless ball hook I thought it should have it's own review post.
Ventanakaz had acquired both the hook and the straps and was very generous and sent them to me. The hook is exactly the right diameter to fit into a Metal Everlast ball, so I put installed the ball and hook into a Plastic Everlast base and tried it out. The length of the hang is almost exactly the same as a Powermill Swivel.
I gotta say it works really well. Again the problem of the eye riding up onto the hook is done away with and the swing length being the same as the Powermill meant I didn't have to adjust my strikes. So it is not as fast as the Deville eyeless swivel.
Having it in a plastic base meant it is also fairly quite. Also having the leather strap going onto the hook eliminates the issue of excessive strap wear on the bag.
For those that didn't see the other post, here's the pics and a repost of the video of it in action.
Congrats to aad03 for coming up with this innovative idea. I hope he doesn't mind me posting his video here.
