    Regarding the ARC;

    The thickest meatiest loops on any bags I have are the Ringside heritage loops. Thicker and wider than the cletos. I used a little petroleum jelly and the heritage bags now slip on somewhat nicely. Happy boy

      New title per bag

      That's disappointing to hear that about that newer title bag I'm pretty sure I got it coming at me as a b-day gift. I recently got the x-small atomic and it is a bit lopsided as well as the loop is sewn off center making the rebound a little too unpredictable. I guess it will improve my game with other bags...

        I bet the small loop on Title Perilous is a good thing on some swivels. Like one with a narrow u-bolt like the mexican style swivels.

          Also, I didn't mean to knock that bag. I thought it was really nice, very soft leather, looked well made. I would consider it a very thoughtful gift.

            I would like to give your fuel arch a whirl as it looks you put alot of research and effort in that design!

              And I wasn't trying to knock the atomic so much either as I am hoping the bladder may need repositioned. The loop probably wont interfere as it breaks in. It is fast and a good challenge none the less.

                    Depending on when that was filmed, that may be the exact white Arc I have.

                      That vid was not for your swivel, it is too new. But believe me, every vid looks exactly the same, unless the print fails and I have to junk the base.

                      I posted the vid of the Whip because I think it is interesting how the plastic starts out transparent and during the printing process it builds up to a very complex look with different highlights and features.

                      This is just the first step in making an Arc swivel. There is more.

                        That's pretty cool all you need is the guy from the "how it's made" show to do a little narration. I gave the arch as a gift idea to the fam for me for xmas but I dont know if I can hold out that long.

                          Awhile ago you posted that any new color options wouldn't be any time soon. And of course who really cares about the color if the swivel performs like it should. Which of course it does.
                          But just for kicks, what other color(s) were you considering? Black? Silver, like a stainless steel look?


                          Just curious, you don't have to answer.

                            With my hobby, my labor of love, aesthetics are important to me and part for the form and function. And picking the names was lots of fun!

                            About that new color, I am waiting for someone around here, not naming any names, to get off their butts and post a pic or vid of it.

                                That would be awesome! Rainbow glitter would be also cool
