thats the swivel it comes with, all plastic bar the metal bolt... and it doesnt go sideways very well meaning i can only hit it properly forward and back! cant wait for a new 1

You COULD have the bag go sideways by stepping to the side slightly to alter your body position, and just hit sideways. I know a guy that purposely could change the chain link swivel mechanism to go either front-to-back or just sideways. Here is a video of that.... The direction of bag movement was really dependent on how he set this chainlink swivel. He sent me this video to demonstrate his swivel adaption.

thinking of ordering the ball hook swivel, its on sale for less than a pound and it looks pretty good tbh... limited stock tho

they also sell some pretty cheap kettle bells, might pic one of those up aswell

is it mounted to wall studs ? meaning the verticals inside the wall ? or is simply mounted to the sheetrock/drywall ? Take Chris's advice, and mount it to a board, then mount the board to the verticals in the wall...then put a 50 lb sandbag on top.... then you have no need to upgrade your equipment - it will be steady enough.
