    The real deal?

    Has anyone tried ordering a metal Everlast ball hook from this company? Is it just a "wolf ticket" or the real deal? It better not be plastic for $22.99.!!http://www.esportsonline.com/?sitemi...rc=SP_2517XXXX

    I'd call them first to be sure it is metal. they don't say that on the add page, just a "pro ball swivel".

      I called Esports Online today and the sales rep ASSURED me (3 times) that the swivel pictured is EXACTLY what you get. I'll give an update next week when it arrives. Hope it's for real!!

        Check the hook when it comes.

          Bait and Switch!!!!

          Just to update and inform everyone the picture of the Everlast ball hook on the Esportsonline page is to just bait you and then they send you a Century model #(piece of crap) to you....the old bait and switch!!!! I know others have fell victim to this practice on other online sporting good sites, but I guess someone has to be the guinea pig My advice is to only order from the tried and true vendors like Ringside, Title, and Prime Fighter. At least what you see is what you usually get with them.....Esports online=Not the Real Deal!!!!!

            I got that same POS fake ball on a half shell from some shyster I don't remember. I use it to remind myself that if something looks TOO good to be true....it probably is.

            I also use it to hang my extra bags off to the side.

                Ya SupergeZ, I already called and they are refunding my money and paying the return shipping, but it is still a total waste of my time takin a trip to UPS and all, but i hope this keeps others from buying from misleading vendors and wasting their time........conclusion(no one sells new Everlast metal ball hook swivels, their all gone.........better buy a Watkins before their gone too!!!!

                  good to know they refunded u busta, nothing worse than ordering sumthing and when it arrives its not as described / shown

                  why on earth did everlast stop producing the swivel if it was so good =/ totally baffles me..

                    I had the exact same thing happen to me with another online vendor. I have bought three of the metal Everlast ball/hook swivels in the past few years and I got all of them from private parties on Ebay. Two of them were new old stock and one was an oldie but a goodie.

                    If you're really dying to have one of these, PM me and we'll work something out.
