title swivel issues

[Boltthrower]

ok so i received my swivel today from title and im not sure what to think. It is the deluxe pro. http://www.speedbagforum.com/forums/...1&d=1332565702
This is my first time posting pics so im not sure it will be correct. Did a preview and it looks like my images are sideways. anyway as you can see from the title page and my pics there are some differences. First the U appears longer on mine than their picture. Second, the housing for the bearing appears smaller in their pic than on mine. In addition, it is not straight. As you can see it is off by just a little bit. The weld on the bolt just seems a bit sloppy to me. not sure. this could be the norm. When i turn it, it is not completely smooth. It is for maybe half of the turn then u feel a bit of jagged rough friction so to speak. Not much, and with weight from bag on it, it is probably not noticeable. Maybe im being too nitpicky. Maybe none of this matters much. I just wasnt that impressed. The last concern was with the pin through the U. I was wondering why there is so much play (space) in the holes on the U. thanks all

if i were you i would send it back for a refund or purchase something else. yap that's not the same swivel and they didn't do a good job on welding it, also that U is not the same i would say that is a cheap version or knock off. the (ring to cage) looks like a good one from the pics or get the (grant) if you want a U-bolt. i only like the ball & hook swivels myself...ralph

Thanks. Messed up huh? Currently working on two homemade platforms. This one will have the u bolt as my 10 yr old stepson will be using it as well. Second one will have the powermill ( if I can get one soon) or maybe the deville. I'm just so anxious to finally get one up and running. Shoot, I've been waiting 3 days a pass just in between poly coats on my drum. Now I'm ready and I get this. even paid 10 bucks extra to get it in two days with my bag.

...who knows when ryan will be able to get back at making the powermill swivels again, you can get a deville swivel though or try your chance at the watkin's two piece metal swivel (everlast lookalike) i'm gonna get a watkin's when there are enough funds to take the chance i'll know by the end of next week if the funds are there then i'll get a watkin's with the extra ball&hook and do a review of what i think of it...ralph

I just sent Title an email explaining the whole situation. Hopefully they can make right of this matter cause I'm not paying anymore for return shipping and reshipping. Like I said I've already paid 20 bucks just to get it quick.

Sorry to hear about that problem. Best best is to add a few more bucks for a swivel and get the Deville Ballhook. It is a far superior swivel to any on the market from boxing companies.

Email "MsDeville Senior Member" via this forum PM function. In a few days you'll be glad you invested the extra $ and have an awesome swivel.

Thanks Alan. That is my plan. I will have two platforms , one of which I will keep a ubolt on for my stepson and nephew mostly. The other one will be a little better quality throughout.

As for my issue with title, I got a very prompt reply and they were very cool about it. They have remedied the situation and I am now more than pleased.

...i'm very interested in what the replacement swivel looks like and if it looks like the one they show on their website, the pic you showed...ralph
