Everlast Professional Adjustable Speed Bag Platform Review

The Everlast Professional Adjustable Speed Bag Platform is an excellent speed bag platform for your home.

It is sturdy thanks to the beefy steel construction and has a 30″ drum.

That big drum will work with all kinds of speed bag sizes – and the unit is height adjustable too – which is necessary to ensure the bag is at the right height.

Everlast Professional Adjustable Speed Bag Platform – Overview

Everlast Professional Adjustable Speed Bag Platform — Specs

Here’s the relevant specifications for this platform.

Arc Swivel

Let’s take a closer look at the Arc swivel used in the video review.

These are small batch created by a speed bag enthusiast.

Why? Because it’s hard to find commercial “ball hook” swivels nowadays.

The key features of the ball hook swivel are a ball and a hook – and this combination lets you attach a bag – and strike the bag from any angle and still get a proper rebound.

When punching from the sides and angles other than the front/back a ball hook swivel makes for a much more consistent punching experience.

Being made mostly from plastic, this is also an exceptionally quiet swivel – there is no metal on metal contact.

This means you hear the bag beat rhythm rather than a clanking (or squeaking) metal swivel.

The other key feature of this swivel is the innovative tri-hook – it’s made from a flexible material and has a keeper metal ring – it’s very, very easy to quickly and easily change speed bags with this swivel.

(This matters if you punch a lot of different speed bags.)

Everlast Professional Adjustable Speed Bag Platform – – Professional Swivel

This unit comes with a swivel too – an Everlast Professional unit.

This is a beefy, tall U-bolt style swivel.

It’s great for punching from the front of the bag (or the back), but as with all u-bolt swivels, it’s not the best option for punching from the sides.

There’s a bit too much mass in it that has to rotate when you hit from the sides – and that can cause quite a bit of inconsistency.

The 2nd factor with this swivel – once you get the speed bag on it – it’s not coming off.

That’s good while we’re punching, but it also makes it challenging to swap speed bags – you’ll need a small set of pliers to work with that cotter pin – especially when your hands are sweaty.

Overall it’s a nice piece and gives you everything you need out of the box to get started (except for a speed bag).

You can always upgrade the swivel later if you need to.
