I have a swivel similar to #2 and I have noticed that no matter how I hit it, it will rotate and swing along the same axis. So, the same two sides of the bag are always being hit and rebounded. Do all swivels work this way? Looking at #4 it looks like it could swing along two axis' and #5 and #6 seem to able to swing any which way. If I am wrong in assuming this please correct me.
Anyway, as far as function goes I have no problem with my swivel, but it seems to be making my bag lopsided. It is a Century 7x10 vinyl bag, and when I first bought it it seemed to have a perfect shape, but over the last week of hitting it it has become lopsided - I am assuming this is coming from hitting the same two sides all the time. I haven't noticed any "odd bounces" or anything yet, so it really isn't a problem, but I am afraid it will become a problem over time. Could this just be that it is a cheap bag? Or maybe it is a design flaw in the swivel? Or maybe this is normal and it doesn't matter and I am just fretting over nothing ... Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Travis
EDIT: Actually, after looking at the #2 more closely, mine is more basic than that, it is just one "link" in the chain instead of two. #2 looks like it can swing on two axis' as well. I have been looking all over but I can't find a pic of mine. It looks very cheap, but for right now it seems to be working great (other than the lopsided issue).
