Delurking to say thanks for this. I am not loving my title chain link swivel very much.

It's exciting to know that the Deville persuaded you to "de-lurk." Thanks for ordering one. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

couldnt fit everyone on there sorry..plus Im kinda new here

Very cool, tj! I, too, love doing this fun stuff – just ask Alan. You beat me to the punch. Wow. Fast! And thanks for including me in the poster! Do you happen to have a higher resolution of the jpeg? I'd love to get a larger image of it.

I sent you a PM and cant wait to hear back. I love the idea of a ball hook swivel being quiet! Thanks.

Thanks for you order, Ryan. It's much appreciated.

WOW... I made the poster!

Nice looking swivel MsDeVille...but I want one in tie-dye.

Thanks, Zaza. Hmmmm... tie-dye. For some reason, I didn't take you for a tie-dye kind of bagger. If we get enough positive response, we will move forward in this endeavor, and we will definitely do some experimenting with colors...

MsDeville,

First of all your skills on the bag are top notch! The swivel looks and sounds very promising. I will PM you...

Thanks very much. I love to bag. Thanks for your interest in the swivel.

Clarification

well it fits my needs not to mention that scissorhands is a bible style puncher who mastered many of the biblical techniques in alan kahn's book all on the U-Bolt. they really do serve their purpose...

And that's all we can hope for, to find a swivel, a bag, a drum, that fits our individual needs. I'm going out on a limb here and assuming that you come from a boxing background/interest. In my humble opinion, the u-bolt is great for that purpose. I love watching Manny punch on the speed bag, using a u-bolt. He gets into a zone and rhythm.

For me, personally, though, I gotta mix it up with the elbows, reverse punches, etc.

I first started out on a chain link, then about a month later, switched to an Everlast u-bolt. I used it for about 6 months. It served my needs – to keep the bag on the straight and narrow. As I progressed, I found that the u-bolt was unforgiving when I would attempt to do more than the basic front punches. Then, my s.o., "Trainer Raul" put up the S-hook. It took a few workouts to get used to it, but I've been in love with it ever since. It definitely fits my needs.

We came up with this swivel to see if we could eliminate some of the noise generated by a ball hook swivel.

For clarification, I'm not professing this to be a SILENT swivel. Just a QUIETER swivel. I hope I have achieved this. But, time will tell. I will wait for the feedback from those who have purchase one.

Bag on!

MsDee, The swivel and it's Deville "masterpiece" I hope you bring one to SB3. You just can't have to many swivels... Can't wait to 3.

I guess I'll have to wait and see how this first batch is received by the members who ordered one. If they pass muster, then yes, I will definitely be bringing swivels to SB III! Watching those videos of you, Justin and Donnie at the gym made me wish I were there...I love the speed bag gatherings.

Funny stuff!

Pretty darned funny, ebo. You never let us down with your interesting take on things.

To answer your question about the s-hooks, I'm afraid I haven't been in the garage when he's working on them. But, I think it involves a vice... and some pliers, a paper clip, and some duct tape.

I do know that he is using 3/16" rolled steel. It's a smaller gauge than the standard hooks that Everlast uses. The S-hook, when finished measures 1-1/4"-1-1/2" in length (from inside the top loop of the S to the top of the bottom of the S). The I-bolt hole is smaller, and is tucked deeper into the brass ball, so it actually shortens the distance of the hang of the bag. Makes it go really f-a-s-t.

I have been getting some requests for pictures, so I have finally posted some pictures of the swivel on my Profile page: http://www.speedbagforum.com/forums/...hp?albumid=100

I'll try to get a few more shots posted in the next day or so.

In the meantime, thanks to all you great baggers who have taken the plunge, or should I say, taken "one step for a bagger, but one giant step for baggers of all kind."

This photo on Wikipedia says that Buzz Aldrin is unpacking experiments from the spacecraft, but what we can't see is the speed bag that he's punching on, but is blocked from view by his big space suit...

[Speedbag]

Wow, we've got people with talent... less than 60 minutes later. I am impressed!

Out Standing!

[Speedbag]

Somebody needs to photoshop that movie poster into an ad for Speedbag 2012. Put a more recognizable swivel silhouette, and something like "I Know What I'm Doing This Summer"
