Perfect for Crossfit
This rope arrived last week as a replacement for my old one. I was a little worried it wouldn’t be as good as the price was so good but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of it. It works just as well as my old one and gives a nice even smooth skip plus its fast enough to be able to do double unders with which was my main concern. I really like how easy it is to change the length of the rope plus the handles on the rope are very comfortable as well.The bag is a nice extra to keep everything safe and secure in when you’re not using it and it’s a place to store the spare cable, screws and caps too.

Really good skipping rope
This item arrived really quickly and was exactly as it looked on the pictures. I am wanting to try and a get my fitness up and I read online that skipping is a really good way of keeping fit and it means that I don’t have to leave my house to do it!This skipping rope is amazing for doing speed skipping as it has ball bearings in so that you can have a smooth enjoyable skip. The cable is made from strong steel coated in PVC so it should last you quite a long time. It comes with a draw string bag to keep it in when its not in use plus it has a spare cable in it as well which is a massive bonus.Overall I am really very happy with this product and will use it all the time now as a way of keeping fit.

You get what you pay for
After over a decade of speed rope work, the last of my leathers finally died on me, so I decided to pick up something cheap and cheerful on next-day delivery to bridge the gap, I figured “for £7 I can’t go wrong” ... how wrong I was!Handles have a terribly un-ergonomic feel, I ended up having to wrap them in hand-wrap tape for extra grip and thickness, the motion is smooth enough (the minimum I’d expect) but the cable lacks any weight whatsoever, making crossovers nigh-on impossible and giving a poor feel to the whole experience!I’m fully aware that I’m being hyper-critical, possibly even unfair to a rope that cost less than a tenner, and yes, I’ve no doubt this is all because I’m used to the weight, quality, and feel of leather, but if you’re using a speed rope for footwork speed and to build lower-body explosiveness, as well as cardio, then this is NOT the rope for you! If you can (I know we’re all feeling the financial pinch at this time of year) then triple your spend and buy something that you will become connected with!If you’re looking to jump rope for fitness (good on you!! Great choice of workout addition and I wish you well!) then this may very well be ideal, but I doubt it is the best option out there.But for me, even at £7, it was £6 too expensive.PROS:Nice little bagSpare cablesCheapCONS:WeightFeelGripsLengthening fastenersQualityCheap

Lightweight and easy to use
The skipping rope arrived very quickly and was just as described online. When I opened it, I was very impressed with the look and feel of it. It appears to be of good quality and looks as if it will last me a long time. The skipping rope also comes with a spare rope and a little bag to store it in. It is easy to adjust to your desired height, meaning that it is suitable for most people and the handles are really comfortable to hold. It makes skipping very easy and I can already feel the benefits. This skipping rope is well worth a buy and especially so for the great price.

in comparison to my last one which wasn't much more expensive I am disappointed with it
I skip a lot.....I got this speed rope after loosing my other one, in comparison to my last one which wasn't much more expensive I am disappointed with it. It feels flimsy and the handles are constantly sliding down far too easily. This might be good for some, but for me it isn't really what I'm after, I need something with more quality. Postage was great, really fast. But I'm sorry its had to go in the bin. Hate to leave a bad review but if u skip everyday like me then I would spend the extra.

Effortless skipping
I really like this skipping rope, it gives a smooth effortless skip. It has ball bearings which help the rope to help the rope glide round smoothlyalso stopping it from tangling.the actual rope can be adjusted to your height and the handles are comfortable to hold. The skipping rope comes with a draw stringbag to store it on and a spare rope which is a bonus. I am hoping that I will up my fitness loads by using this rope.

CAREFUL - Rope Cutting Instructions
Please do not cut this rope straight away after reading the instructions!I did this - read off my height and the length they said to cut it at (didn't second guess it, why would it be wrong?)This length they give is ridiculous, it would of been fine for a child but not an adult. At 5ft7 I ended up cutting the spare to over the length of someone who was 6ft5.....So yeah massively disappointed as I now don't have a spare cable.

Long rope
Really long rope. Perfect if you are 6ft. Good you can adjust it if your shorter. Good durable rope. But stings when it hits you if you miss a jump.
