How to Install an Everlast Swivel Speed Bag

Started in 1910 as a swimsuit manufacturer, Everlast has since become synonymous with boxing equipment and manufactures and entire line of punching bags from heavy bags to speed bags. The speed bag -- used to develop reflexes and hand-eye coordination -- is often an air-filled sack hung upside down by a rotating swivel. Installing a speed bag in your home gym is easy and can be done in just a few simple steps.
