Thank you all for the kinds words. It's very encouraging. When I first got "hooked" on speed bagging, I had no idea that my journey would take me where I am today.
First, and foremost, I LOVE speed bagging. I may not have the perfect form or the proper technique, but it doesn't matter. I just love the sound of the bag and swivel, hitting the drum in that mesmerizing rhythm. It truly is medicinal, in my opinion.
My main objective for building swivels was to give fellow speed baggers another option. The big sporting companies have their idea of what a speed bag swivel should look like and how it should perform. And, my partner, Raul and I have our own idea. But, unlike the big manufacturers, we are at a level where we can "change things up" more easily due to the fact that we make our swivel by hand. People will suggest that we use a mold, or CNC the swivel. But, we're not ready to take this step. Not yet. So, for now, we will continue to hand craft them, making it possible to tweak them from time to time to improve their performance. I appreciate ALL the input that I receive from baggers around the world. I am listening. And I take it all in, always open to suggestions to improve the Deville Swivel.
Thanks again, pulpo, Alan, zaza, swfl, for your positive comments. 'Nuff said. Now, it's out to the workshop! Bag on!!
