In addition to a really quite and sturdy platform structure. I was trying to see how to make the ball hook swivels quiter too. One thing I did to reduce one point of the noise, was to place a piece of thick cardboard between the swivel and the board,before securing it. This eliminated the noise from the back of the ball hitting the board. The next noise was coming from the base of the eye hook hitting the base that supports the ball. I cut small pieces of tape and squeezed and taped them in there and it worked, the only thing it didnt stay on there well. Since it seemed to work, and not interfere with the performance, I searched online and found a product call liquid tape, and also a rubber plastic dip coating. I ordered this, and will try to brush this rubber like coating at points of contact and see how it works. It should stay on there better then tape.
Next was the ball hook bouncing up(especially in fists rolls) and coming back down and hitting the base that supports it. For this I was thinking of filling the top of the swivel with 1/4 ball bearings. The idea would be that, once filled,the bearings would just keep enough pressure to keep the ball hook from moving up and down(creating that clank), and at the same time, allowing the ball hook to continue to still to move about, in its ideal path, without restriction. Not really confident about this part, but I'm gonna try it.
And then finally, something that I have read previously here on the forum, using a zip tie instead of S-hook on the eye hook. This will eliminate the noise between the S-hook and eye-hook.
Once all the supplies arrive, I will post results. Stay tuned!
