Rogue Fitness SR-1F Froning Speed Rope

I assume this rope costs so much because you are paying for the names, Rogue and Froning. I boxed in my younger days and have off and on for 40yrs with different ropes. I can do most any trick imaginable (not bragging). This rope has nice handles compared to other if you like the thin style. It is a very fast rope rope with a decent feel of medium weight as it hits the ground. The rope is actually a very thin cable with a coating/jacket that has a soft rubbery feel. It won’t last you long on most surfaces. The swivel bearings seem ok and work as they should (again not impressed). It has very little if any adjustment after the initial setting because you have to cut the cable very short to the handle. If not it is impossible to jump with it. Also the locking ring/clamp uses a tiny Philips head screw that can easily come loose or be stripped. Personally I would prefer an allen/head set screw. Like a thin cable on a bicycle do not bend it tight or it will stay crimped forever. Odd observation, the handles slide on the cable so I keep finding it awkward trying to get both handles at both ends of the cable when I’m ready to start my timed jump.

Fantastic rope for use in a fitness context. The ball bearing style connector is the only way to use a jump rope for accuracy and speed! Only downside is that the handles are heavy and tax your forearms after some time.

I bought two others before this one at much lower price. But this is worth the difference. The long handles and their design to fit in the palm and grip are much better. No rope can buy you double-unders. But this one does give a little edge.

Great rope

This rope is amazing. Spend the extra few bucks and get this rope. The other cheaper ropes are garbage.

Instantly felt my inner Froning. Completed 1 million DU’s unbroken while sliding down a homemade slip N slide.

Excellent, I recommend

I had an RPM rope much more expensive but did not work as well as this robe robe!
