the is simply the best jump rope i have ever had.
when i exercize, i like it when it goes very fast, the rope is kinda “heavy” so that makes it possible for me to go very fast while i cant do that with most of the ropes i have used in the past
I saw this at the Vitamin Shoppe and since I’m always willing to try new jump ropes, I picked it up. I like these type of speed ropes, the ones with ball bearing and a rubber encasing over the rope. I find that it spins smoothly and fast and its easier to do tricks that a lightweight speed rope (although not as easy as the beaded ropes for trick but overall, I like the speed rope better). This rope is adequate if you just want to skip, do some crossovers and some double unders etc. But the rubber is too stiff thus it doesn’t unkink all that well and turning action isn’t that great even though it has bearings. I’ve also bought an Altus speed rope similar to this which was marginally better. Believe it or not, the Sports Authority brand of “professional” speed rope is far superior than either. The rubber is much softer and it turns a lot faster and smoother. Still, this is a servicable rope, I’m sure you can get a very good workout and if that’s all you want, then I recommend it.
Don’t waste money on this rope. Cheaply built and too expensive. Get the Gold’s Gym adjustable rope at WalMart at a cheaper price with a much better quality.
I am not a jumprope fanatic, but I bought this rope, cut it to adjust to my height, and it does just fine when I’m doing interval workouts to get my heartrate way up!
I bought this jump rope because I wanted to work out in my apartment without having to walk to my apartment complex’s gym in the cold Michigan winter. The rope is wound up and tied up when it is packaged, and even after 5-6 uses and letting the handles hang down when I’m not using it, the rope is still bent in all the same places it was bent when it was packaged. Also, I tried to shorten the rope (I’m 5′8″) by opening the bottom of each handle, pulling the rope out, and tying a knot, but when I do that, the rope can’t rotate freely, and it twists up to the point where I have to stop jumping and untwist it; I have to do that every 10 rotations or so. So then I let the rope back out to its original length, but that results in hitting the ceiling once in a while (luckily, I know my upstairs neighbor). Overall, a decent rope with some design flaws.
