Silicone spray on the swivel and she's good to go. Never did the drill spin-o-rama, but that probably works good too.

The first controller 2 switch bar I had (and still have) had a dodgy swivel. I tried silicone spray and did the spin-o-rama and neither worked. Switch sent me a replacement swivel which was better but it still doesn't really work in its intended way. I think the problem with it is that the swivel pretty much stays under heavy load . I say this because I noticed that if your front lines are twisted they will occasionaly auto untwist via the swivel if the front line tension is relieved.

1 review out so far on the switch forum site, looks promising but not exactly unbiased. If it does what the review says hard to go passed it for my next wave kite at the price point....

So buy one, review it and if you don't like it you get refunded

Just found this pic of the replacement to the combat
Looks a bit like a 5 line Fuel to me, but apparently also available as a 6 line.
