Hi,
I installed a speed bag in my basement and have been using it for a little under a year now with a large speed bag. (Balasz ibox platform with a large lazer bag.)
I am mainly focused on using it to improve striking skills (accuracy, improving the brain connection for tensing the fist/muscles right as you land the hit, etc). I use it as a combo of low to medium intensity cardio + working on striking skills.
Anyway, I got a new smaller bag and swapped it out--when I was doing so I noticed the uhook swivel is not level. It is noticeably slanted, so the uhook doesn't hang straight down. The bag ends up not quite hanging straight on it because the ubolt is slanted.
I am not sure how much of an impact this has on the bag behavior--should I worry about swapping out the swivel? I need to break in the new bag so I'll probably hit it for an hour tonight... I am pretty sure I'd have noticed if it was slanted when I first installed it, but I haven't really inspected it since then. Just wondering how much of a difference this is making on the bags behavior, and whether I can just ignore it or if I should replace the swivel...
