Boxing Gear's® Speed bag Swivel - precision ball Swivel (Steel)

[fingers]

Its a shame this swivel is not available in the UK i might yet be converted to the ball hook!!

For what it's worth the parts do interchange on my Everlast and Watkins ball hooks.

Looks like that swivel works just fine for you. None of them work like that for me. More work,I think.

NO. I have found that only everlast products fit together. This swivel comes with it's own base attachment to the board, and the bag attachment part which screws into that base.

Would it fit into the Title Pro Swivel base? I use those but would like to try a ball swivel but into changing the base on my platform

Me and my boy both love it, Great action and sound. Despite the big opening on the hook it stays on fine and is super easy to swap out bags.

Good to hear. I'll pass the feedback along to them.

Speedbag,
Do you have a picture of the newer shorter hook the company sent you? How much shorter is it? Do you know if they are selling that version yet. Their website doesn't have an updated picture or description.

Yes, I have a few pictures that I attached below. It is still in modification. The shorter version is on the right in both pictures below.

The have a lot of the other ones in stock, and won't have the other until the first stock is gone. I would still use the first model, for the size really doesn't interfer with the action. It is just feels a bit slower. not a big deal, though.

The screw holes line up the same, you don't have to re-drill your board.

Correct, but the threads won't match.

does this swivel fit into the everlast mounting plate?

...I do notice that older everlast "ball" sits deeper in the housing then this one, and also the plastic ball hook. I guess it is a wider hole and more of the ball sticks out.

When you look at the specific details closer, the Everast metal ball (left) had a flat bottom. The Watkins ball (center) clearly has a flared bottom. (they have sent me several - and they are all flared) and the plastic ball is more perfectly round, so it flares out just a bit at the bottom.

Maybe that is why the watkins has a little different sound to it, (nice actually, not a loud "chank" sound). On the everlast, there has to be a momentary empty space between the non-flared bottom, when only the eyebolt is going to the swivel housing. And I used the original watkins (long hook) for a while without tape, and I had no problem with the bag flying off.

For the record, Watkins is really working on their design to try and develop the best swivel of this type. I have their next generation, and the hook is redesigned to be a bit shorter. stay tuned....

I just received a newer update version of the Watkins Ballhook - with a smaller hook.

need to give this one a try...

I got mine in the mail today

I recieved my swivel today having ordered it wednesday. Its smooth and has better sound than the plastic one. The gaping S hook also has a bit of roll in it making it really easy to swap out bags. Me and my boy hit it and no bags went flying.
