i can certainly control a ballhook easier than my super swivel. but i just prefer my super swivel over the ballhook. to each, their own.
Best swivel

I have an everlast delux pro swivel that is similar to #3 and I like it. I hit an 8"x5" everlast bag. Today I bought the plastic ballhook. I am still pretty new so I am just learning elbows and reverse puching combos. When I hung it up today I thought I got ten times better instantly on my new combos I am learning. I still like the pro swivel better but it is a lot easier to hit the ballhook slower and learn the combo. I just like to be able to hit the pro swivel faster.

You should try the everlast chain link swivel. I have this swivel and I also have a chain link swivel that I bought from ringside. I did not like the ringside swivel. It was longer, thus slower. The everlast chain link swivel works very well in all directions/planes and it is fast.

My favorite is the old reliable #6, but alas is discontinued.
I too tried to purchase 5 of them, and received the plastic ones instead, which I have not used yet.
#3 is fast and quiet, but needs to have the bag securely taped to the middle of the bar so it won't slide or float up off the bar, which cause a drastic speed drop (no friction. the bag is "floating", not rebounding). Without taping the bag, you may find yourself "missing" and starting over a lot more than normal.

would that be this model?

But even the S Hook has its limits and is noisy since the post hits the edge of the swivel cup before it hits the board.Last edited by Tim; 11-24-2007, 04:41 PM.

I have used the 2,5 and then the 6. I like the 6 the best. The 5 is great also it just lacks the excellent sound of the six. As my boy said when we got the # 6 type....It sounds "cool". As for the #5 unscrewing, superglue the threads then pool a bit of super glue on top of the ball and dust it with baking soda. The chemical reaction will bond it securely. Do not use GEL type glue just regular. Be very careful not to get any glue and baking soda combo on your skin as the together they can burn your skin....hence the great bond.

Thanks Tim - that would be it. Jim Bradley. Unfortunately I've used the new plastic one. Was so excited when I found it but equally disappointed after use. Too long and comes apart. With some toying, it has possibilities though. Thanks for da comments brah!.

I got the #3(Deluxe Pro Swivel) from Title Boxing. Although i was a little disappointed when I looked at the quality of the D shackle. Look at the pics.
The fitting of the pin was crap, it's noisy and already after one month the chrome on the pin has worn. Hmm! They say it's triple chromed. So today i made a new one and now it's silent, just what i wanted. Now i love it!
