New to skipping, 4 weeks in, and this is a great rope. I am new to skipping and this does take some getting used to, as it is a very lightweight speed skipping rope. Heavier ropes give you more feedback, but this rope can be used as a beginner. This does seem frustrating at first when you trip yourself up, but your technique improves faster as you practice more. Be sure to adjust the rope as per the instructions, or check out videos online. I only skip in the park, in the dirt, and this is a lot less forgiving for a new skipper than if done on a hard surface. I would recommend to start a hard surface like a gym floor, or something similar. There is a guide in the package to help get you going, and check youtube for videos on beginners guides to jump rope. It is a great feature that the tool needed to tighten the wire, or adjust the length is built into the handle. This makes for quick adjustments when you are out skipping. Solidly built piece of kit. I have been using it for weeks and it shows no signs of wear and tear. The customer service was outstanding!! I had a problem with my order and the owner organised to get me a replacement order without me having to go via amazon. Adjustment Tips: Adjust length with you shoes on. Step on the rope, and both handles together should be up to about your nipples. Once you are happy with the length, having jumped a few times you can cut the rope with the wire cutter on a large pliers. I used 6" pliers to cut mine. I had to use the front part of the wire cutter to get enough force to cut through the wire. Measure 3 inches above where you tighten the rope on both sides and that is your point your want the cut. Jumping/Skipping tips: Start the skip by holding both handles together in front of you and spin the end of rope keeping the handles together, as one, in a criss crossing motion. This will look like you are making a big X across your body to start a skip. Once you have done 2 or more Xes across your body, and the rope is on the down swing then separate the handles and bring them to either side of your waist and jump through. This X motion gives the rope speed before you try your first jump. I still mess up the timing with this X motion and have to start again. If you start with the rope behind your feet on the ground and swing it does not have same speed and it is hard to judge when to do the first jump. Keep your hands DOWN at your waist, and keep them there. When your raise your wrists above that point you will trip yourself up when the rope gets caught on your feet. Bounce on the balls of you feet only. This allows the rope to cross your feet faster and you will not step up on it. Jump straight up, but only jump a little bit, 1 inches to 2 inches (3cm to 5cm) is enough. Do not kick your feet backwards. Only raise your feet straight up. Use wrist spin generated from your lower arms only. If your upper arms are moving, like the motion if you pretend you are rowing a boat, you are doing it wrong. Your biceps should not be doing any work. Using the wrist spin also keeps the rope tight on the spin, so you use the full length of the rope. A loose rope catches your feet more often. You measured the rope tight to your nipples for your height, you will not have the full height of the rope when it is loose.

I just wanted to say this product is truly amazing, it's so easy to fix and even has spare counterparts, it's adjustable and perfect. I'm truly impressed. It feels much better than any jump rope I have had and truly worth its price. I truly love it

So I've had a few Beast Rope Pros and moved onto this. I was having issues with pro tangling after a few weeks on crosses. I gave the elite a go as it has a different bearing arrangement and it's been excellent for not tangling. The rope comes with two wires, both the same just a replacement. I skip 30-45 per day on steel (on a ship) and the wire has lasted about 9 weeks before needing changed. It wasn't worn through, it sort of kinked. It's a very nice feedback and quite fast. I find the handles a slippy but I skip in about 35°C+, I also started to need to lubricate the bearings as one side is in its way out and was twisting the wire, again this is probably down to the heat and humidity where I skip, I don't see this happening in normal condition. One other thing is on double unders the caps on the ends sometimes unscrew in my hands ,so I put a chunky o-ring to stop that.

Very good and reasonably priced the ball bearing swivel works perfectly and its very easy to adjust the length for kids but you will need a good pair of wire cutters to shorten the rope can NOT be cut with scissors

Over the past couple of months I have bought several items from Beast gear and been delighted with the quality, appearance and extra little touches you get when you purchase beast gear apparel like the individual bags with the logo on the front keeps your training gear nice and neat and not in a mess inside your gym bag. So back to the ropes, let me explain why I have given them five stars. You are not getting one pair of ropes you are getting two, ( so value for money) they come with two very strong pvc coated cables. The handles are a very robust stylish aluminium easy and light to hold, the bearings inside the handles allow the rope to run smoothly cutting down on the possibility of wear and tear and damage to your ropes. You will notice the end of each handle unscrews to reveal an Alan key this is for tightening and adjusting the length of your ropes, an excellent idea if like me the Alan key would be lost by now. I you decide to use your ropes on a concrete surface or outside beast gear have also thought about that as you get a hard rubber sleeve to protect your rope. All this is very well presented comes In a very stylish bag so once again it's not loose and tangled up next time you go to use it. So just to recap. Value for money Long lasting Stylish Well presented crossfit, boxing, general fitness, buy these ropes, pay that little bit extra you won't be disappointed.

My favourite skipping rope. Have brought several of these over the years! Good weight, very durable and includes a nice carry case and a replacement rope.

Good quality

This is a good rope, at least the handle is, the first cord broke within 3 weeks of usage, the outside cord protector is of no use and makes the rope too turbulent to use. I resorted to using a little duct tape to help out but that was never going to be a long term solution. When new the rope is fantastic, but it won't last long. I don't know if you can buy a new cord from the manufacturer as I expect the second cord that comes with the rope will meet its end in another 3 weeks. One other issue is the handle becomes hard to hold when your hands sweats, but for me at least that is a minor complaint compared to the annoyance of the cord breaking.

Very Nice I love it

Allt man kan förvänta sig till ett väldigt konkurrenskraftigt pris.

très belle corde a sauter, le plus c'est qu'il y a un câble et des vis de rechange cela évite d'en racheter une autre. trop bien merci

muy pero muy buen produto calidad 100% recomendable

Sehr gutes Springseil! Im Lieferumfang ein zweites (nur) Seil enthalten ! Um auch im Freien trainieren zu können,b.z.w auch auf abrasiven Untergründen,liegt ein ca 25 cm langes Stück Gummischlauch bei ,,das man leicht auf das Kabel / Seil ,bis in dessen mittleren Bereich auffädeln kann, um dort die Kabelummantelung zuverlässig vor Abnutzung zu schützen . Zu diesem Zweck muß natürlich ein Kabelende aus der Klemmung im Handgriff gelöst werden! Dies geschieht ,indem man die Endkappe des Griffes (ohne Werkzeug ) abschraubt und mit dem damit fest verbundenen Inbusschlüssel die klemmung löst und wieder festzieht! Bleibt nur noch zu erwähnen,daß die verwendeten Kugellager von sehr guter Qalität sind,,die Kabelenden sich in dem jeweiligen Griff befinden ,welche aus Aluminium gefertigt sind und einen hochwertigen Eindruck machen, ,nicht zu glatt poliert sind ( teilweise leichte ,ringförmige Profilierung) und gut in der Hand liegen! Das ganze Set kann zudem in er dazugehörigen aus Filzmsterial gefertigten Tasche verstaut werden! Für mich handelt es sich hier um ein in jeder Hinsicht sehr empfehlenswertes Sportgerät,das man gerne zur Hand nimmt und was ebenso erfreulich ist auch zu einem angenehmen Preis bekommt!
