OK I'm going to review this bad boy, since it is the only rope that I will use. I am not a professional at jumping rope however, I am good and extremely fast. That's the thing this rope is extremely fast if you can do it. The bad part is that it does break down easily; the bearings are not durable enough to withstand even the fastest doubles and triples spins for more than (at least for me) 2-3 months.Catch22: No other rope will allow me to jump as fast as this one because it has a double swivel and it goes as fast as you can--Hyper speed. I can go for an hour with it. It's good for both beginners and advanced because it's ease of use-- it glides from the double swivel and that's how I learned how to jump rope. Using this same rope. Eight years ago.To the manufacturer I would suggest perhaps evaluating the double swivel to increase durability.What I do is put a little bit of oil on the swivel to help it out and I think that works to extend its life a bit.Also it's a cable rope so you have to be careful since an accidental whip will be sharp. Hey, it comes with the territory. Final note, I do love this jump rope. And I would recommend to anyone
THE BEST JUMP ROPE. I've been jumping for many years now and I can say that this rope is the best rope I ever used so far. Excellent quality of cable, not too thick, great resistance, the handles are lightweight (great for non stopping cardio) and the grip is very comfortable. The rope isn't adjustable. Thanks GoFit for this amazing product!
Excellent service and delivery time. This is my second rope. The first lasted 3 years before the plastic started to wear. I used it 5-6 times per work so this type of wear was expected. Great product and excellent price.
Best jumprope I've ever used. Not very well constructed though. The handgrip tape came loose after a few weeks, but the plastic underneath provides plenty of grip. I've own one previously and used it everyday for 4 years...over time, the bearings will pop out of the grips and the center of the rope will wear to the point that the wires will break and become hazardous. However, this rope can't be beat. When mine wears out, I'll order another one.
Use 4 days a week for 10 minutes as warmup to my martial arts training. Smooth spin and, unlike most plastic ropes, the cable keeps its shape making jumping rope less frustrating. Unlike the Buddy Lee's rope, the handles are comfortable and sized well; not to mention at more than 1/2 the price. Draw back is that the length is set and thus you must order the size that fits you. I am comfortable with 9ft at 5'8".
