yea i was thinking of something on those lines until he posted he was working on something like that already. i figure its best to let him do it.

Speedytommy is working on that idea. I wont interfere with his idea and design. His passion deserves a reward. Other people would try to cash in on others ideas....i wont do that.

That's cool. It was just a thought. I will look forward to seeing Tommy's design when it is released. This may just be the Golden Age of the Metal Ballhook.

I have a Jim Bradley Swivel headed my way as well, so it will be fun to compare.

JC, I'm also interested in your next gen faster swivel design. I love your first run swivel, but would also like to try something with a smaller, faster ball. I am still curious if there is a relatively easy way to incorporate ball bearings into your design. It seems like friction between the ball and the housing is the limiting factor on speed in the ball/hook design. Seems like ball bearings could reduce that friction and make it lightning fast.

I have tried WD-40 in the past and it seems to dry out to quick and it seemed to still have a "friction grind feel" to the moving parts. May be a little while till i start on the different smaller ball swivels. I am gonna check out different bearing races and see about maybe machining a pocket to seat it or press fit it in the housing (thanks Avadia). That would definately be a VERY smooth design. BAG ON!
