Hi
So my new swivel arrived today, an Everlast tn360 - EVH4440. As you can see, there is a triangular caribeener attached to the swivel eye which looks like it could keep the bag more centered than other swivel solutions I have seen.
When presenting the swivel body up to the board, I could push the swivel ball up into the body about 1/4 inch, which seemed to be quite a lot of play, so I cut a chunk of plastic out of a plastic container and added a penny on top. I didn't need to drill any holes in the drum to fit it. I read that you should remove the eye and glue it in. It seems this one is bonded in as I managed to get the eye to move, but it won't unscrew. It's definitely faster than that other monstrosity that was included with the board and wall mount I got last week.
And as a result it skips off more easily after a miss hit, but that's the trade off I guess. I miss hit the bag a couple of times and the triangular carribeener slipped do it wasn't hanging straight. So I taped it up and it seems ok at the moment.
All in all it seems sturdy enough, certainly for a beginner, and it only cost £14
Cheers
