    Ball and hook prototype swivel

    Hi all

    I’ve been having a hard time finding a Ball and Hook swivel, so I decided to make one. Here is my first prototype.



    Once I’ve refined it, I would want to have some folks give it a try. Let me know if you would be interested in providing feedback.

    thsnks.

    If I may, how far does the bag hang from the board? It looks a little long IMO but I'm just one guy. I think if you shorten the shank/eye you'll notice an instant improvement. It's cool that you're getting into it with the creative juices flowing. Best of luck and I'll look for any updates/videos. Lord knows the world can never have too many ball-hook swivies.



    EDIT: And hell yeah I'd try it.

        Very nice swivel that you made! Seems to work well. Perhaps you should try to shorten it to make it faster. I'd love to try it!

          Thanks for the feedback. I’m definitely looking to shorten the shank. I’m also building a 5 inch speed bag platform



          I’ll post a video when it’s all put together.

                Yea. With a shorter shank that looks like it would be sweet.
                I would try it.
                That 5” drum looks nice too!

                            I know, right? I would love to see other swivel makers selling swivels and donating all of it to dog charities!
