Zaza, I'd still like to see a pic of the neoprene washer around the eye bolt. But in the meantime, I'd like to share another 50 cent hack that I think improves the ball hook swivel experience. I added a couple of simple vinyl caps on the hook. Unlike a zip-tie, quick and easy to remove and replace. And the bag has not budged the caps, much less flown off the hook since.

Hi Rusty,
John here, maker of the SwivelTek.
The black cap that came with it is supposed to be used.
It will do exactly what your rubber band will do - it will prevent the eye hook from hitting the side of the swivel housing. It's made out of a special polyurethane rubber so it will last a very long time, and you won't need to have a rubber band on your swivel!
Not that it wasn't a good looking rubber band or anything...
By the way, I love that rubber cap! Great way to keep a bag on.
Happy bagging,
John

Reviving an old thread here. I just got a Swiveltek swivel from Amazon. I don't know if I got a bad one. It is very slow and I get very little rebounds compared to the Everlast U bolt that came with my Everlast adjustable. With the same punch that would get me 7 rebounds on the Everlast swivel I get a very weak 5 rebounds on this one. I really have to hit my 5X9 bag hard compared to before? Is this normal? I am not using the puck/disk, so could this be the problem? I can post a video if it helps to see.

Yeah I ran back to back tests on my new Swiveltek and the swivel that came with my Everlast adjustable platform. The Swiveltek is somewhat slower. But I don't think that is a bad thing. It actually made me slow down and try to make my moves more crisp. I am trying to be too fast for my skill level.
Note: I lost the black disk that keeps the eye hook from hitting the sides. The owner of the Speed Shack is getting me a new one for free! Talk about great customer service! I somehow lost the disk in my trip to the hardware store and back. I needed new hardware since I drilled new holes for the Swiveltek all the way through to the top. Anyone on the fence about the Swiveltek, the customer service alone makes this a great product. Speed Shack thanks again!

For any one wanting to lube this swivel Superlube makes a great synthetic grease that is rated Excellent compatability wise for the Delrin bushing in it. I was getting some bad swings from the ball not moving smoothly and after a light amount of Superlube grease it is back to being smooth, fast and straight.
