Prism Jazz stunt kite

A friend of mine who I recently introduced into kite flying wants to use ball bearing snap swivels (the fishing type) on the terminal end of his lines at the kite attachment point.  Is this ok to do and would he sacrifice any sensitivity if he uses the swivels?

On a single line kite it's not a problem. On dual- or quad-line kites it introduces a bit of slop and will slightly affect control, causing some oversteer and a slight delay in control inputs. The larkshead knot is much quicker and easier to manipulate with cold hands.
