      Amazing footage...By the looks of that ole' hairy geezer hitting the bag, it must be from a long time ago..What is this from...1934, maybe?

          Here is a new tinkering, something different.

            HA! Thanks to all...I'm old, that's the fact! Alan, it was actually 1924, but who's counting?

              Hey, TommyT, did you feel like this when you came up with the psycho, or went for your patent? I have 4 designs that failed for various (good) reasons, and have another 6 more on paper waiting to be tried out. Sometimes I feel a little like Edison finding a thousand ways NOT to make a lightbulb.

                Here is a hot new design, fresh off the workbench.

                Minimalist. They say less is more, well this one sure is fast. By far my fastest swivel yet.



                Some features...

                - Delrin ball bearing. Very tough, smooth, low friction.
                - 10 gauge steel hook. More than strong enough, even for my large speed bags.
                - Tight inward bend to keep the bag on the hook.
                - Short stack from platform to hook. I don't have a measurement yet, but easily my shortest ball hook (and therefore fastest)

                      I listed a bunch of pro's, so I should list the cons too. I'll have to run the vid in slo-mo and see if I can spot what you mean.

                        The only thing I'm seeing is it seems to want to orient the bag with the loop perpendicular to the swing. Is that what you mean?

                                Yeah I won I won...Really though, you might could set the swivel world on it's head with this venture

                                is it functional? or have you even set it up yet?
