        2020 still sucks, but now our cups runneth over with good ball swivel options. Discovered the bag only April of this year, so I missed the days of Deville and getting an Arc was just a dream. Sure, the Everlast or Porter worked. But noisy.

        Then came the Thrasher, and now Arc returns.

        Thanks Jeff and rdshackleford!!

          Great news, now to figure out how to instagram. I feel like I need to know a 25 year old to teach me how this works

When you get to the level where you need the Arc Pro, you will know it.
              Now you have found one

                  I got my Pro Flame in the mail Monday and I am thoroughly impressed. Hat's off to you Rusty. Prompt delivery and professional service.
                  Cheers

                    hi, i don't know to much about swivel making but what makes a swivel better and faster, why would the arc pro be harder to use? does the dimensions of the housings effect it and would a shorter hook make it faster? thanks i was just curious about how swivels work

                      the speed of a swivel depends on the distance between the drum and the surface of the hook where the bag rides. Both the Arc Mk.II and the Arc Pro ride the bag around 75mm from the drum. Yes, a shorter hook would make it faster.

                        The Arc swivel is a ball and hook swivel. Most of the swivels being sold today are what we call "U" bolt swivels. These are fine for speed on one plane, but the ball and hook swivel allows the bag to be hit on with an unimpeded 360 degree area. Controlling the bag with a ball and hook takes considerably more skill than a "U" bolt swivel. Patience is the key to the learning process, but once you attain the basics the speed will come. Just watch the videos of Alan Kahn, or our webmaster Tim, they are inspiring.
