Nice worked well

Struggled with double unders until the second I first used this rope. It immediately clicked. This is the best jump rope I’ve ever had. CrossFit approved.

Last time I jumped rope was probably 10 years ago, I decided to get back into it for exercise and bought this one.The rope itself is great, spins very smoothly thanks to the bearings. I would say it's a moderate weight (less than the thick, heavy weighted ropes some gyms have), if you try to jump VERY slowly it would probably get annoying but realistically even for a first timer it's not difficult once adjusted. The handles are comfortable to hold, the wrapping material is soft enough to feel nice on your palms but has good grip. I really like the design of the bearings and the axles holding the rope at a right angle to the handle - I think it's a very efficient design and feels smooth when jumping.It gets tangled a little if there is too much slack. I adjusted mine so that it barely touches the ground as I skip, and I jump as fast as I can handle so tension is not a problem and it pretty much never gets tangled while I jump.The instructions have you basically make it the distance from your feet to armpits, which I find way too long. Instead I measure by putting the rope behind my knees and holding the handles out in front of me with straightened arms, which is much shorter, and I shortened a few inches more through trial and error. I recommend starting with the too-long length that the instructions suggest, and adjusting down from there. As the manual says, it's a lot easier to shorten than to lengthen it.The handles each have two holes that the cable makes a U through, and friction holds it in place. So adjustment is very easy, and you don't have to cut the extra bit in case you want to be able to lengthen it later. However if you let the extra bit of cable wrap around the rest of the rope, it tangles a bit more. But if you jump fast enough to hear it whip, it still won't tangle.The first time I tried jumping in my dirt yard the plastic sheath immediately started getting scratched. I think you should definitely not use this on rough surfaces like concrete or pavement, it wouldn't last long. I had those jigsaw piece-style rubber mat tiles around so I jump on those (you can make do with 1x2' but 2x3' is roomier), better for my feet and no damage on the cable. After a few days I got good enough to spin it without ever touching the ground.

Got this as a gift for my wife! Exactly what she wanted, works great

The way the rope connects to the handles allows you to make adjustments and test the rope before putting on the metal clip to lock it in place. The bearings are very smooth so it spins very well. Very satisfied especially at this price point.

I have purchased this jump rope several times. I am an avid jump roper, working out at least one hour every day for cardio/strength training with this rope. After about three weeks, the rope brings to thin and you can see the under wire. After about two months, the wire becomes exposed and breaks from the actual plastic rope which is very annoying. I never jump rope outside on concrete, just on soft mats at my apartment complex’s gym. I will not be buying for a 9th time because they continue to break and you have to buy another for $20. The thick rope is the only one that actually gets a good strength workout going as the thin rope is too light and you have very minimal control over it. If you plan on using lightly and infrequently, then it is a great purchase. If you buy this for every day use every single day, I would not recommend.
