Ballistyx Jump Rope - Premium Speed Jump Rope with 360 Degree Spin, Steel Handles, Silicone Grips and 2 x Adjustable Cables - for Crossfit, Gym & Home Fitness Workouts & More

Very happy with this jump rope. The speed and power cable both feel different and do give different workouts. I definitely felt it after only a few minutes with both! I am excited to get better and better as I keep going. The photos I included show how the package came in plastic and then out of plastic. How it looked in the box when opened and then everything I got in the box as the last photo spread out for you to see better. They also give you cards that you can sign up for seeing exercises among other things. I am only 5'1" and my husband had to cut the cord for me. It didn't fit in the rope handle for as short as I am. He used wire cutters. If you are having two people use the rope it may not work if you have one short person and one taller person. Just FYI you may each want your own rope. Did also notice if you have to bend over the cord into the jump rope it will twist when you jump rope. If you can just have the cord straight and not bent it will not twist, so cutting off excess again would help with that if you have that problem. I did anyway. Once you have your length down that you want, then hold where the cord goes in at the bottom of the handle to keep it tight and to help keep in place until you lock it in place. We noticed if we didn't do that the clip could just come out easier and you not even realize. I hope that makes sense? It is kind of hard to explain. In other words you don't want to push it up into the handle more by accident while sizing it. Adjuster clip should fit loose on the cord for sizing. I do like that we can switch between ropes and I see the convenience this way. However for me it would be way easier if we just had the ability to purchase extra handles for each rope. I would pay extra for extra handles. Esp. if two people can use the same ropes. One can use one while the other uses the other. Also if you are just working out alone and want to switch fast between types of ropes for workouts and don't want to have to stop. That's about everything I noticed about these ropes. I really enjoy them and I can see me using these a lot and getting very good results from them. Thank you for taking the time to read. Like if you liked my review! :)

I love this jump rope. I am not new to jumping, but I’ve always used much thinner ropes. Even the speed rope in this set is bigger than what I’ve used in the past. I thought that’s where it was at, but after using this rope I cannot go back to my think rope.I love that I can feel some weight in my hands. I’m not sure the physics behind this, but I am able to jump much more efficiently with this rope (less stopping/mistakes) and my heart rate is definitely more elevated. When I lift this rope, the weight makes me want to continue jumping. My arms get more of a workout too. This isn’t considered a weighted rope, I believe those at are t at 1/2 a pound, this one is barely 1/4 pound, so it’s really not heavy, but my body certainly feels the difference. I can’t wait to jump again once done. I even use it to get steps in and elevate my heart rate when my watch tells me it’s time to stand or if I just need a quick pick me up.Quality-wise, the rope itself is solid and doesn’t keep links or bends, which also helps it be more efficient. The handle fees very high quality and doesn’t slip out of my hands when sweaty due to the material. Cutting to the appropriate length and fastening it in the handle was simple and easy and they also come with extra clips, which was nice, just in case. I wonder if you could order just the fasteners from epitome fitness if necessary though. Or maybe it’s free, that would be a bonus. But maybe I’ll never even need extras.If you’re looking for a rope that gets you a real full-body workout and motivates you to keep going, this is it! Some reviewers mention the handles coming loose, meh. Just don’t drop the damn thing on the door all the time because the fasteners aren’t that tight. But if you tighten before jumping and place it down with care in between sets or circuits etc., they stay in place. A slight inconvenience if you’re in the zone and rushing and don’t have softer surfaces or mats to drop it quickly, but that wouldn’t make me return it. Sometimes we require way too much convenience, it’s really not that big of a deal, probably adds 1 second to your workout time each time, and hey… use that time to be more mindful of the kick-ass workout you’re doing while taking care of your body.
