Question
Where can i purchase a professional quality ball hook swivel on-line?

Answer
Hi Luke

The quick answer is: I don't know. All sources seem to have run out of the two piece metallic ball hook (Everlast #4440) and now carry their plastic model. (Plastic housing and plastic ball inside).  Many people contact me about that and also ask on SpeedBagForums.com

I wish I could tell you a "secret" source, but the last I've have heard people find them occassionally on ebay or other auction sites. No dealers that I know have any metal ones left.

Good luck finding one.

sincerely,
