Hi: I'm trying to get my local YMCA to update their speed bag platforms. The 2 platforms have old swivel bases - the threaded kind which don't have the actual swivel permanently attached. One is the standard Everlast one. The other looks like it dates from maybe World War II... Any suggestions for what swivels I should recommend to the Y? Seems like there's 4 options.
1. A ball hook swivel which would allow people to bring/use their own bags. But all the ones I can find seem to be designed for experts and/or home use only.
2. The Everlast basic swivel (4444?) seems like it would be a pain to switch bags (ie. to remove the cotter pin) for people to use their own bags, but not hard enough to stop anyone stealing the bag if the Y folks left one attached.
3. A 2-part threaded swivel like the old Everlast one they have installed at the moment (just the base). This way, the Y could keep a bag at the front desk, and anyone who wanted to use it could thread it into the base. Any recommendations for such a swivel?
4. A chain link swivel. Is there one people recommend that doesn't come in 2 parts? that way it could be left installed without (much) risk that someone would steal the bag since removing the link would be a pain.
Any good ideas very much appreciated. Thanks, Simon
