I would have to see it.
I'm pretty sure I've eliminated the float issue, stay tuned for more info.

That's great news, I'm still very interested in how your swivel hits without that extra eye-hook/s-hook joint. Could be a game changer. I noticed in one of Alan's slo-mo segments that that joint flexed when the bag was hit. Seems like wasted motion to me, that it should have stayed taut throughout the arc, but what do I know? Maybe it was a symptom, not a cause...Originally posted by operator3 View Post
FYI, I should have said better mousetraps in my comment above -- plural. There's a pent up demand for something better is all I meant.Comment

I have a feeling we may need that joint as it flexes when the ball-hook hits the housing!! and without it there may be undue strain on the bag loop especially with slimmer and smaller bags...but that said i am no expert this is just an observation!!

that's 20!!... I want to give anyone else interested untill Friday to get an order in. BTW, I suggest for you guys to open a pay pal account if you don't already have one. It makes transactions much easier to track, and it makes sellers responsible for doing the right thing. I believe there is a 3% charge for pay pal fees tho. I would prefer to do business through pay pal, but I'm not gonna turn anyone down that has a check sent to me. Numbers are looking great! Were now at our lower price point!
Please make this easy for all of us by opening a pay pal account if you dont already have one.
As fAr as the single hook loop, there is always going to be a little flex. Best option would be to take advantage of it. No matter what angle you hit it from, there should be enough flex to get a good arc, and not make unwanted contact on the housing.Last edited by operator3; 04-13-2010, 06:27 PM.Comment

Well it's happened. According to Titleboxing, Everlast has indeed discontinued the plastic swivel.

If you can't source one locally, let me know. I've got 4 or 5, some still in the package. I'll send you one.Originally posted by operator3 View PostComment

I ordered 2 Everlast professional plastic swivels from NexTag, which shipped thru Amazon. What I received was 2 Everlast standard plastic swivels. The pro model was $13.50 and the standard model I think was $9.99. I really don't know what the difference between the two is. I guess, considering the current availability of Everlast plastic swivels, I should be happy. Anyway, I got a free Title MMA T-shirt with my order. After securing the hook inside the ball with Loctite and letting it set for 24 hours, I put the new swivel on the platform this morning and tried it out for a few minutes. From what little I know and my limited experience, it seemed OK to me.Comment

Well, I ordered two plastic swivels (with regular hooks) from the Everlast website and just received notificaiton that they had shipped. Despite what Titleboxing told me, apparently they are still available. At least for now.Originally posted by Tim View PostIt's still listed on the everlast.com web site, as is the carabiner model.

ok guys, the time has come to put in the order. I went in there today to get the ball rolling, but they want money up front. So if you will, please send your payment to my pay pal account(eskougor@yahoo.com). As soon as payments clear, I will hand over the $ to the machinist so we can get these ordered. please add 3% to the total bill for pay pal fees, and $3 each for shipping. Also, please include your forum name as well as real name and address with your payment. That way everyone gets what they ordered.Comment

I just got back from the Sports Authority in Deerfield (south of Lake Cook & Deerfield Rd.) and they have about 6 of the plastic ball swivels w/ the S-hook for $11-12. The set does come with the carabiner. By the way, why is the carabiner wider at the bottom than the top?
As to paranday's comment about wastes motion, there are 2 joints in the system so theoretically it should flex in 2 places: between the bag loop and the hook/carabiner/u-bolt and the hook/carabiner/u-bolt and the ball joint/bearing swivel. The only way to counter act that would be to have a shaft of some sort connected to the board w/ a ball/bearing and going directly into the bag. Didn't carnivals have similar attractions?Comment
