Outslayer Professional Heavy Duty Swivel for Speed Bag Platform Speed Ball Hanger

I've used an Everlast swivel ball for my speedbags for 45+ years. The problem with the vintage Everlast is that there is room in the socket for the ball to bounce up and down. That extra upward "bounce" makes smaller bags harder to control and adds a lot of noise to the workout process. You can see the space between the ball and the top of the old Everlast swivel in the photo on the right..Enter the Outslayer all stainless swivel with real sealed bearings, a properly wide and smooth "U" shaped bag hook that is simple to remove and replace and slides easily into any bag loop. The Outslayer swivel is a LOT faster than my old Everlast, easier to hit, more stable and a LOT quieter. I kept the Everlast swivel for as long as I did because it helped me attain my black belt in college. Now the Everlast is a "wall hanger" - a fond reminder of days gone bye and with such a great replacement in the Outslayer, I'll never go back. (Being older requires even more dedication and work to stay in shape!)The only small "con" I have is that the Outslayer swivel came with 4 gold drywall screws for mounting the swivel to the wooden drum. I'm not using drywall screws on this awesome new stainless swivel so I replaced the drywall screws with 4 stainless steel hex screws. I doubt the drywall screws would shear, they just look really crummy.You can see the quality difference between the new Outslayer swivel and the antique Everlast swivel in the photo on the left. The Outslayer mounting holes even matched up perfectly with my old Everlast. Other than that tiny 0.1 point deduction for the drywall screws, this swivel is the best I've used - it looks like industrial art and performs perfectly. Highly recommended - Hope this helps!

This swivel is way better than the plastic one that came with my sons everlast speed bag / heavy bag combo. His speed bag skills improved almost immediately , as well as his confidence!

I just finished building my speed bag platform and I installed the Outslayer swivel. It’s well made with high quality materials, and it comes with everything needed for installation. Attachment of the speed bag was as simple as removing the pin and replacing it. This swivel uses ball bearings and it’s super quiet and fast. I definitely recommend!

I have used just about every brand swivel on the market and every type of swivel and this is one of the most well made swivels I’ve used and really amps up the speed no matter what type of ball you use with it because of the extra bearings that most swivels don’t have. I have read that the U hook doesn’t fit on some bags but I’ve tried it with Cleto bags, a few title bags and many others and I have yet to find a bag this swivel won’t work with. Do yourself a favor and skip by the Title swivels and go right to this one because it’s about the same price as Titles best swivel but it’s made way better and has much smoother action. A+ in my book!

There is no doubt this is heavy duty and quality parts. Maybe it's just the one I received, but there is a tad bit of play where the bolt and bearing are mounted in the head of the unit. This makes it VERY loud in speed use, as it makes a constant clack with every hit and bounce back from that slight tolerance in the bolt and bearing. My cheaper swivels were never this loud, nor had this amount of play until they wore out.It is a much more solid build, I just hope it lasts with this slight play in the swivel.

I changed out the swivel on the platform I have had, holes matched, same screws - 5 minutes. I am no boxer, but I do a HIIT type workout which includes boxing / MMA functional activity. This is very well made. I expect very high durability. There is no "slop" in the mechanism and the bearings all move freely. This does seem quieter without the background metallic "slop" noise, but the activity is intrinsically loud. Not life changing but better. I consider the $40 price premium to be worth it, as that cost will be amortized over a decade+. Outsalyer warranty is excellent, and the name and motto are kind of motivational.

After 3 years I finally upgraded the chainlink swivel that came with my platform and this new one is fantastic! The build quality is great, it's fast and smooth! Something very different from the chainlink, that while durable can be all over the place especially for novice. If you're looking to really open up and go rapid fire on the bag this is what you're looking for. It's made out of thick quality metal and comes with a solid set of bearings. I won't be testing this theory out but it could definitely withstand a few good whacks from a bat lol. Quality product at a great value and it'll last for years.

We recently replaced a cheap heavy bag/speed bag stand (which had a plastic ball and hook swivel) with this platform. To be sure, the swivel that was included with the new platform is better than the swivel on the stand, but I kept reading about the Outslayer swivel, how it's the best, etc. What the heck, I decided to order it. Just installed it yesterday, and it's like night and day. Turns out I'm not bad on the speed bag, but those other swivels were getting in the way. This thing is solid, smooth, and relatively quiet -- much quieter than the swivel that came with the platform. Do yourself a favor and upgrade your platform with this swivel.

The media could not be loaded.  WowThis is made pretty solid.Every part is big: loop, bearings, base, center bolt.There's no way this swivel is gonna break any soonComes with screws but I used my own screws..It is pretty smooth too.Get yourself this one, you will not be disappointed !

Love this swivel!! Smooth and durable with a good size loop that’s not to big so the bag speed is good.

the top 360 swivel is loose so i put pipe tefflon pipe tapa to tight the gap not as much nosie when bag is moving
