Skipping Rope + Weights

Product has met my expectations. It's a strong sturdy well made product that provides a tougher workout than a lightweight speed rope. The rope is thick and when the heaviest weight is added to the handle its almost as heavy as the more expensive heavy jump ropes that distribute the weight on the rope. The only downsides I can see are the material on the handles can slip off and if you need to adjust the length it might prove tricky for some. The length was perfect for me though out the box.

I was looking forward to my skipping rope. I still haven’t been able to use it. You are supposed to cut the rope to suit your height, that’s easy. However, they suggest you reuse the metal stopper that it comes with. It’s impossible to use it. It’ll be better if they provide you with another one, so you can use your pliers and adjust it.

have been boxing on and off for 8 years and have used many ropes both cheap and expensive including the named brands. Bought this after my trusty favourite skipping rope got lost/stolen in the gym after 4 years of use hence I was happy to spend money to get a good replacement. I am very happy with the length, longer is almost always better as I feel extended arms work the upper body and develop better kinaesthetic awareness. The weight and material of the actual rope is perfect as it is neither so flexible it is difficult to maintain a constant arch nor is it so stiff it is difficult to keep moving. The handle weights are simple and effective, simply using a flathead screwdriver to change them out and once they are in place there is smooth movement wholly devoid of any irritating rattles. I have tried 150g thus far and have found it is weighty enough, I normally box at sub 84kg so I reckon this weight would be challenging for most if not just slip in the 250g ;-). The only downside is the foam which keeps on moving as there is not enough friction between it and the metal handles to keep it in place, this can easily be fixed using glue/double sided tape/hairspray which is the reason why this product I still rate 5 star. For new skippers this rope would be a challenge, the learning curve will be large but eventually very worth it, if possible buy a speed rope for £3 and alternate between that and this. People more experienced; this rope will be a welcome challenge. There you go, didn't think so much could be said about a rope lol.
