Swivel dislocation

[Del-Striking]

I've been using a Deville swivel for about 7 months. It appears to be getting worn in with some grooves developing on all 4 quadrants. I was working on some downward elbow strikes followed by outward elbow strikes, I tend to hit the bag a little high on the outward elbow followed by the fist and the whole ball of the swivel came out of the swivel base. I pushed it back in and continued with no further incidents but is it time to buy a new swivel? Has this happened to anyone before?

Welcome to the forum, Del-Striking. Another speed bagger had this happen to his Deville swivel a while back. I have since adjusted the design of the swivel base very slightly to eliminate the chance of the brass ball falling out. Shoot me an email and I can arrange to send you a replacement swivel.

I noticed my Deville swivel was problematic as well. I found my Deville swivel had a imperfection in the ball. This caused a wear grove in the polyamide. Replaced it with a chain link that I had, but never used before. I do miss the quick bag changes.

Thanks Dee, much appreciated.

Hey Niki. I'm sending you an email your way…

Ms. D,

Very nice to receive your email.

Thank you.

Received my new Deville swivel several days ago and all I can say is Whoa! Whatever alterations you guys made were spot on. I had to slow my punching down a bit. This thing flys and I like the slightly louder clicking the eye hook makes. Love this swivel Thanks Ms. Dee

Thanks so much for the positive feedback, Del-Striking! Will you be posting your punch drumming video on the forum soon?

Just put it up. Not as difficult as I thought. Just have to use landscape next time when shooting.
