My local gym has a speed bag platform mounted on the wall with a hook, I need to buy this swivel if I buy a speed bag right?

Yea, it is a good swivel but it is a little big for a peanut bag so it would work best with a medium or larger bag. And what the person said about the swivel is absolutely right. You can beat on almost any piece of junk bag if you have a good swivel. Even with a bladder problem. Just gives you faster reactions trying to follow the bag. S hooks will do the job but you'll be amazed at how much better you got when you use the swivel.LOL

Also, your speedbag has a loop at one end that connects directly to the s ring or u ring&cotter; pin. The bag will hang naturally once attached. It's the swivel itself that is more important. If the swivel at your gym compares to the Everlast Standard Swivel, w/ plastic ball in socket style, I would ask your gym if you could switch it out with the everlast pro or similar style swivels. Otherwise, no you don't need to buy this swivel. Just attach bag to the s ring, which should be permanently attached to the swivel itself. I hope that helps

It depends on the swivel/hook at your gym. Some are screw-on type so you can bring your own bag and swivel. This one bolts on the board so I doubt you'd be able to use it at your gym :(

Check out Everlast Standard Swivel to compare. If you local gym uses an s hook connected to a swivel, then no you don't need to buy this swivel. You just have to connect the speedbag to the s hook, and the s hook should be attached to the swivel mounted on the platform permanently. The everlast pro speedbag would have to be attached directly to the speedbag platform/screwed into it permanently. The s hook does work well, but it's really the swivel that makes a difference. I hope this is what you needed to know.

Its very easy to mount, it swivels too. However, it did not fit my handlebars well (I have a Cannondale 2013 Quick 2), so I ended wrapping 5 inches of fabric tape around my bars... perfect.

The Power Hook hangs on a racked barbell typically. You could also make a set of stands with a fixed pipe across them to hang them on.

Go to the hardware store and look for a swivel hanger among the hooks and caribiners... not sure what they're technically called. Or a towing hook would work. You just want to make sure the hook is rated for over 100 pounds... the heavier duty the better as the users will be swinging and twisting on it.

Mine didn't come with the speed bag, I had to order it separately. It's fairly sturdy, but it probably isn't stable enough to really hit hard frequently. The whole assembly moves around a lot. I had to put 50 lb. Weights to keep it from shifting so much. Probably normal for this type of bag set up.

I bought a small speed bag, but it's still kind of slow. You have to hit it very hard in order for it to move really fast. It's not as great as the ones you would find in a boxing gym. It's ok for a home gym...but definitely not fast enough for a experienced person.

I guess you could attach the hooks to a universal swivel hook as long as the hook you purchase has a big enough ring to get the supplied hooks into. We have our attached to a tree limb and boy do they spin it. It is an absolute favorite.

I'd call them (Powerhooks). They have gym grade Powerhooks too for a few bucks more. I know they have done contests w/ 150+ lb dumbbells.

Yes. It is a ball type swivel. You just have to swivel it where you want it and then drill the holes and mount it. DO NOT PRE-DRILL. Here is the web link you can see it. http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/ipc-hfw4300s-398.html. The cable comes through the center on the mount also.

I use weighted sandbag mount that just rests on the dashboard. Works OK for me. (it is a Garmin product).

If you are going to use this bag you totally need a Topeak rack. I think one of the guys at work has a Novara, and the track is slightly wider.

You should be able to attach it to your pull-up bar, or any overhead bar or beam, but make sure it's something that can support your weight, including whatever it is you have the bar attached to!!

I have two hooked up in my garage. One I use for rope climbing and the other has my heavy bag hanging from it. They both have been great so far. I don't think you will have any problems.

We own the Swagman and love it. Can't see any advantage to the SportRack, which appears to copy the Swagman design, adding a tilt feature which you wouldn't/couldn't use with the bikes attached, and is unnecessary when they're not. (The center bar of the Swagman will fold left or right when not in use, giving easier access to your trunk or SUV cargo area. Swagman also makes a cable lock we use when leaving the bikes attached but unattended.

Mount it wherever you want. It's a large plastic band like a watch or belt that you can cut the extra off once mounted. The unit doesn't swivel, so keep that in mind for where you place it.

This is a speed bag swivel. It is not a hook. It has a loop that spins 360. It is very sturdy. It will hold more than 200 pounds, but I can't tell you about it's reliability with this amount of weight. It is designed to withstand lateral forces, not vertical forces.(Although it may hold up to vertical forces, I really don't know)

No because I don't have one. I do have a 65 in, and I do not know if it swivels, because I have it mounted on the wall. Sorry
