Just a quick question. I have a few platforms and I have a few swivels. Just got the Forza Ball Hook and it does not line up with my other swivels and don't really want to drill new holes. Has anyone else found that to be the case?

That depends on where your "few swivels" are from. I can't get much information on that First Rate boxing gear, however maybe their swivel holes are not set apart on the standard size?

A long time ago I think there was a Ringside swivel that had the holes a bit closer, on a smaller base, but it disappeared from their catalogue years ago.
(PS: I picked up a couple of Forza's just because.....)Last edited by Speedbag; 05-17-2018, 09:31 PM.Speed Bag

I didn’t check on my first rate platform. It’s my rogue platform that I changed out a month ago with the Everlast ball hook. It fit fine in the previous holes. But this forza is smaller? I’ll post pics tomorrow. I own 4 swivels. 3 of them have the same hole pattern. The odd one out is the forza. So I’m a bit confused.“My success is not about wealth and fame.

So here are some pics of 4 of the 5 swivels I own. It's like the old Sesame Street or Electric Company one of these is not like the other. 4 of my Swivels are exactly the same hole pattern (I don't have the First Rate pictured but it is) The Forza is the only one different. I know everyone has said they have always lined up with the Forza but not mine. I am new to this so maybe I just bought the wrong swivels before the Forza.

you will just have to repair the old swivel base screw holes. Get a 3/16 wood dowel. Trim a piece of dowel to fit 3/4 inch depth of the screw hole. Then top it off with wood putty. You can then sand the dried wood putty to smooth and dab some wood stain on the 4 repairs. This is the easiest and cheapest way I know of. Put your Forza up and soon you wont even notice the repairs

I can make it fit on my board only because I had drilled my holes a bit larger to accommodate some irregular bases that are a normal part of production, AND the early Deville model was also a bit off, (but fixed in later editions).
I drilled my holes all the way through the board so I can put bolts through and put washer & nuts on top, and I have several size bolts to allow for different size "screw holes". Also, On my "outside boards" (2 in my garage) I have several "sets" of holes in one of the boards (can't remember which) because they are old timey presswood and get "reshaped" easier than wood, ....SO I drilled a new 4-hole set in between my old holes, leaving 8 holes in the center for attachment. Because of some holes being wider and worn more, I could fit my first "MMA" swivel (Forza) on that board by forcing a few bolts through "at an angle" and use a gently use a hammer for persuasion. The bolt was through at an angle but worked.
I don't think I can attach a Forza to my inside board via the four holes I have. Two will fit, two will not, .....SO the easiest fix for me would be to Simple Rotate the Forza so the holes are inbetween the others and just drill them out. I also wish the screw holes were larger to accommodate thicker bolts or screws. Oh well. Other than that it is an amazing Ball hook swivel!.Speed Bag

Do you have any suction with Forza? Maybe you can find out why they used a new hole pattern. Surely, it would be in their interest to use a standard hole pattern if they are selling individual replacement swivels. Maybe they are not aware of the issue yet.
