What do you reckon on this type of loop? My concerns are, it's going to wear very thin and one day break. It's only had let's say 1 hours work and no more! It's a great bag, but I don't feel comfortable with this loop. Take a look at the images, keep in mind that there's a shadow where it's wearing thin making it look thicker, beleive me it's looking pretty dodgy! Fingers, take a look at yours mate and let me know if it's wearing the same.

UK when i attached mine to the swivel i used a cable tie to hold it in place also i let some of the oil from the swivel run into the leather not sure if this helped but all seems ok...so far!! just a thought it wouldn't be to hard to drill out the rivets and replace the loop with a new piece of leather say from a dog collar, might be worth it to resurrect a nice bag!!

POWER BAGGER MAN!!!!!!!!
I only hit to feel pain!!!!!
I dip my bags in concrete!!!!!
My favorite bag is the "DEATH BAG"!!!
I have holes in the wall around my platform from mis-hits!!!!!!
Not from mis-hitting and having the bag go in the wrong direction....
But from actually missing the bag and putting my fists through the wall!!!!
That's right!!!!
I am....
POWER BAGGER MAN!!!!!!

Originally posted by Speedbag View PostLooks like a great bag. I agree with Fingers. Find a way to change the loop. Any leather or shoe shop should be able to do it. I remember a shop in memphis that made "custom leather weight lifting belts". The guy did all kinds of bag repairs. Sewed seams, fixed bulging rips and did loops also.
I popped the buckle right off the weight lifting belt when I was power baggin'. Seams the were sewed once exploded like an egg in a microwave after I got baggin' on them, bulging rips and loops were basically fixed only to be returned as Bigger bulging rips and holes everywhere...
Sometimes the smoke would still be coming from the bag when I brought it in to be repaired.....
Why you ask?????
Because......

Hello Mr SMP aka Power Bagging Man,
I can totally relate to your experiences as I also have that level of awesome power.
I heard a story and I think it might be about you.
Did you once go to a fun fair with one of those Punch-O-Meters? You know the ones that when you hit it a weight is sent upwards that hits a bell making it ding?
Because what I heard was that the person who hit the Punch-O-Meter only used 1% of their power and the weight still went straight up in to a space orbit and hit a satellite which destroyed it and that is why GPS does not work properly sometimes because they have not had time/can not afford to send a new satellite up to replace the busted up one.
Can I recommend the bag and set up in the photo? I think it is the only way forward for you, but even then I am still not sure if it can handle your extreme power - so take it easy.
The best swivel to use would be my solid 25 carat gold swivel as it can easily handle the job, but you can't have it
Picture 1: The speed ball in use.
Picture 2: How to transport it home.
Picture 3: How to set it up. You will notice that the drum is angled at 45 degrees.
Hope I have been of some help.

Spinsmashpop,
The United Nations have asked me to ask you to go easy with your speedbag training.
Because you are hitting it with so much P-O-W-E-R this is being transmitted along fault lines in the tectonic plates that are part of the earths mantle causing jumps on the needles that plot seismic activity, via blue ink, on those long rolls of paper.
This is causing seismologists to issue false alarms.
They said if you could just send them a quick email just before you start training then they will know it is you when their needles jump uncontrollably.
Kind regards and thank you for your co-operation.
