321 STRONG Aluminum Speed Jump Rope - Red

How do I feel about this rope? I LOVE IT! A Crossfit coach/friend recommended this rope because the my other two ropes were driving me crazy: one because it kept losing a set screw so the handle fell apart during wods and the other because the cable was junk. I spent a lot of money on each of the other ropes (one was almost $50 and the other was a few dollars more than this rope) and I did wonder how good this rope could be for the price. I also worried about the protruding nut that maintains the length of the rope since it was more obvious than I have seen on other ropes and thought it might catch on things or interrupt my aerodynamics (joking on that part). Worry no longer - it is an awesome rope.The Good:1. The handle bearings allow them to be super smooth and extremely comfortable to use. While doing DUs they feel very good in my hands (well, in my two fingers and thumb since that is how I hold the rope). The red aluminum color looks good and makes them easy to find in my stack of workout stuff.2. The rope itself is perfect in weight: not too heavy, not too light. I can spin fast while still feeling the weight of the rope which to me is the perfect balance. The rope's coating makes it slide smoothly on floor mats. I really like the rope flexibility - it isn't stiff so it flexes with changes in my technique as I get tired at the end of a wod. I think this is a great rope for single unders, those beginning to do DUs, and more advanced athletes. I lent my rope to a friend who went to the Games 2 years ago and he loved it as well as one of our coaches recommends it to those athletes just learning to do DUs.3. The price. Fantastic jumprope at an excellent price. Don't let the price fool you into thinking this isn't a quality rope.The Bad. I am 5'10" and the jumprope right out of the shipping box was the perfect length for me and did not require any adjustment at all. But what that also means is that if you are taller than me - or require a longer rope - I am not sure how that will work out for you. Maybe the company who sells them can chime in here to clarify. The ropes I bought at Rogue required that I cut quite a bit off of them to fit properly so maybe I got a special rope this time :-)

So i bought this rope because, well I'm not very good at double unders lol.Pros: -The metal handles are great because they will almost never break. Be very careful when buying ropes with plastic handles they have a tendency to break after repeated use -This thing is very fast holy crap, i almost hit myself in the face the first time i started using it. -great for double unders, its designed to fly quickly under your feet so that you can kill it with your double unders. Im up to 10 consecutive double unders from 3 in only a couple of days of use. -Rope is very lightweight which is great for killing it with double unders. -Lastly, the most efficient thing about this rope is that its adjustable me and my hubby dont feel like buying two ropes for each of us since im 5'4" and hes 6'3"Cons:DO NOT USE ON CONCRETE!!!!!! It will tare away at the rope and bring out the steel wiring inside which is quite painful if it hits you.Overall this rope is pretty BA, its quick, lightweight, adjustable and durable. The bonuses are a nice touch I liked the ebook and the video that comes with the order. But seriously DO not use this rope on concrete its not designed to handle the wear and tear of that surface.I give it 4/5 stars its a great deal, check it out!!!

I have bought now a total of 5 different jump ropes as I train boxing. Skipping rope for fast feet, endurance, calf muscles, is required stuff for boxers.This is BY FAR, the BEST rope, ever. Comes in a bag. With an extra rope (which is really a plastic covered wire rope), extra hardware in case they get lose and fly off, and the ends of the rope have little rubber caps.Also, the dang rope is even too long for me, at 6'4", so I had to shorten it, which is super easy. Annoying are ropes that are too short and cannot be lengthened, as is one of the ropes I bought recently on AMZN.This rope is light, now, so don't expect the weight of a PVC or rubber rope, or sectional or muay thai rope. This is for speed, double unders, triple unders, etc. Your shoulders will NOT get a workout here, BUT your footwork must get faster in order to use this rope, so there is your tradeoff.Thank you 321 Strong, also for sending me that eBook on how to jump rope, that is pretty cool, stuff and not some crappy template eBook, clearly you took your own pics and this looks like your own work.The handles and bearings are SUPER smooth. Overall this jump rope is a 10 out of 10. Perfect.

This may not be the most accurate review, considering I've only had this jump rope for a few days but there are already a few things I like about it and the seller.First, the handles on this jump rope are much better, in my opinion, than most of the others I'm seeing on the featured list for amazon. I've bought a few and usually they're a cheap plastic that feels like it'll crack under the slightest pressure.The handles on these are some lightweight metal that feels more comfortable in your hand.Second, it comes with extra pieces in case you lose the small bits on the rope. The extra pieces being the rubber ends on the end of the rope in case you cut it to adjust it for your optimal size, and the metal screws holding where the handle is, in place.Last, was the seller themselves. We're all used to the emails asking for a review of their product, but this seller actually provided some useful information such as the tracking and tips, not only on using the jump rope, but on getting in shape.It was a nice change from the normal (essentially spam) emails asking for a review.

It's a good product.Received in good condition.Seller's response was good to queries.Handle was metallic and thinner- if you are used to bigger handles, you will feel discomfort at the begining.

It's cheaper than other reputed brands. Quality is decent. Its a good bargain, given that you get two wires.

Worthless. First they send a defective peice & then they have a 2 page return policy manual. As if its my mistake that I chose their product in the first place. No emanual or any life time guarantee provided as yet.
