Powermill swivel arrives in the UK!

[Mrs Mitts]

Thanks jumpcannon, your fantastic swivel has arrived safe and sound. I just wanted to add my little comments to all the great reviews and feedback.

I've been used to using a plastic Everlast ballhook and more recently a plastic swivel housing with a customised metal ball hook made from a door knob thanks to 'fingers' here on this forum. This is the first time I've tried all metal.

Yes it is noticeably quicker. Crisper, lovely feel, true action.

It's not that loud! You hear it, but I didn't get any objections from the rest of my family which I was a little bit worried about. Bonus!

I notice that it's great when you need to slow down to learn new moves, it keeps momentum better than the other swivels. I also found that I could pull off 4way elbows (elbow - fist - fist -elbow) much easier and even do several back to back at good speed which is new for me.

(sorry Alan, can't remember the proper notation!)

Thanks again, I think your order list is going to be pretty long.....

That would be the Out and In 4 way Elbow Strike. (O-I 4way), but I don't hold it against you.... It's far better to be able to do it than remember what its called but can't do it.

It's not the easiest technique either. If you're doing that on the powermill, your skills are moving on. The Powermill is an awesome swivel and should help you continue improving.

Door knobs it is then- Friendly bunch

The Powermill is made by one of our members. Jump Cannon, in his spare time. Right now he has very little of that as his employer keeps him on the (rail)road most of the time, which is probably the reason why he hasn't responded to your query. He has posted elsewhere in these forums that he will try to catch up on the requests for his swivel as soon as he can. If you are looking for a ball hook swivel perhaps you should also consider the swivel being made by Ms DeVille's better half Raul. It's been getting overall good reviews here.

...you should search the forum here, i know someone from the UK used a doorknob or balljoint from a car or both i think it might have been speedbaguk or pip but not sure or you can do as dutchman said and order a swivel from msdeville or get a brass ball from her. good luck brother :-)...ralph
