#soft material (2007-12-23) I have some other trouble with this Rope. It doesn t suit my height a bit. But it s not so annoying as the soft material from which the rope is made. It takes some extra effort to make it fly fast. I used to use some others ropes. When I bought this one, I didn t notice that it had a soft material. Well, my fault. Next time will be selecting more carefully. Some people it might suit, but still soft material is not a good option to go for. (go for leather one ,) )

#Too short for me (2007-11-05) I usually use a Reebok speed rope and fancied a change, so I gave this a try. The handles are nicely padded and the rope swings quite well. However I soon came across a couple of problems. 1. The rope is quite thick, so it makes a lot of noise when turning fairly quickly. 2. At 8 long I find it too short - my usual rope is 9 long. I m 5 11 so if you are are around 5 8 or shorter then the rope will probably be okay in length. I would only consider this item if you are checking to see if skipping is suitable for you, or if you just want a casual ro...

#Good for 4 weeks (2009-02-23) Wife and I shared this and it was fine for a few weeks but being leather, it somehow failed to retain its weight when being used. . . perhaps something to do with the effect of central heating during the winter months. . . but did soak in water and it was fine for a few days but then agin continued to get caught against feet when used. . . unless skipping at approx 120skips/min. . . now considering a wire jump rope as sold thru amazon uk

#Poorly made (2008-02-27) I used this skipping rope for about 8 weeks and it was great until one of the handles fell off and it was impossible to fix it back on. Looking at how it was made, the only thing preventing the weight and rope from falling out of the inside of the wooden handle was a small plastic ring so it only takes for you to step on the rope a few times when you re jumping and it will pull right out. considering how expensive this rope is, this should not happen.

#The best out there man (2008-02-24) I ve had a few unreliable ropes so thought I d pay top-dollar for one to see if it lasted longer. When it comes to boxing Title/Lonsdale and Everlast(kinda the USA version of Title/Lonsdale) are the best manufacturers around at the minute. It is much better than any other rope I ve ever used and the extra length is great although it takes a couple of sessions to truly get used to it!Added to that is the fact that this is the same rope Apollo used in Rocky II and I d say that makes this a must buy, right!

#Not for me (2009-02-16) I have used this skipping rope a few times and have decided not to continue with it. It makes quite a bit of noise due to the metal swivels that the rope is attached to the handles with. Though the handles are very comfortable. I didn t like the action of the rope as it is attached at 90 degrees which I found to feel uncomfortable and unnatural while skipping. The rope I received did not have the one screw in properly and it is so tight I cannot screw it in any further or unscrew it, so basically its a manufacturing fault. I am 6ft and I found the rope to...

#Good Rope (2008-05-22) I purchased this as an upgrade to a reebok plastic speed rope. As the description states it has metal fixtures, a leather rope and wooden handles. It weighs about half a kilo and it s much heavier than my previous rope, but the weight is all in the handles - the rope itself is not weighted. If you need to alter the length then you have to cut it, there is no other real option, you undo a grubber screw in one of the metal fixtures, remove the rope, cut it to length then add it back and reinsert the screw. The screw has a hexagonal head so you will need an appr...
