This rope is for people wanting serious rope training. I am purchasing my second. 1st one finally broke in the middle after about 18 months of regular outdoor use. Rope will tangle if weights are removed and handles not reassembled properly. I tried the Everlast weighted leather, but it is too short at 9 ft (I am 6 ft).
This rope is ideal for men 5'10" and up. 10 ft with 2 pounds will smoke you after a short workout. Great after a run. Try doubles (pass the rope twice between skips). I don't recommend this rope for beginners. As you can see from other reviews, it's just too heavy. You have to skip with authority. Rope will untangle once you get it going. Best rope on Amazon. Don't hesitate. Valeo 2-Pound Weighted Jump Rope
The Valeo 2lb. jump rope is a great workout tool. It is easy to adjust the size and the rope does not tangle. However, you must take good care of the handles. I broke one of the handles only after a month of ownership. The plastic cover that holds the metal and spring inside is weak. As long as you are not careless, the product should hold up.
I bought this rope and it's working great. I've tried all the ropes and the smoothness and quickness of the ball bearing action is the best of all. A cotton type rope w/ or w/o wts. is ridiculous. That's for kids. So the other reviewer doesn't know what he's talkin about. If going fast, it doesn't tangle. For the best non-tangle w/ removeable 1lb.(that is 3 1/3lb. wts. ea. handle) try www.ropesport.com for their beaded jump rope. I go to their classes and this is what they use. The swinging arc is really good and even going slow it won't tangle. And L is adjustable either shorter or longer. Also c/o bk. "Ropesport," the bible of ropejumping. But, this prod. is effective.
This rope made of rubber curls as you are jumping, the more jumps the more kinks in the rope which eventually trip you.
The weighted handles are a nice feature, but the rope tangles impeding jumping, a total waste of money. Look for weighted handles on a plain cotton cord rope.
Used several times already to give workout some cardio as well as help with footwork and developing a rhythm for boxing. The weighted part helps to work out a little bit of my arms, shoulder, etc. Option to adjust lenth of rope is good too: 10 ft might be too long.
This rope goes through a lot of wear and tear quite fast and all the extra weight is in the handles. If you have a firm grip than this is fine.
The rope is not as long as you think it may be, if you are above 6' I would advise not getting it.
However other than that this is a pretty well made jump rope. The foam is comfortable and the rope itself is very nimble. - Exercise - Jump Ropes - Sports - Fitness'
