Great once you set it up
Using this every day now for relatively brief periods, because boy is it a lot of exercise. The thing to note in setting it up is that if you need to shorten the rope, which most people under 7 feet tall will, you will need something like a wire or bolt-cutter. The wires that hold this thing together are strong. There is no real concern about this wearing out in any significant way because I'm pretty sure one could climb it to safety if one had to. Nice handles and smooth movement. It's exactly what I was hoping for when I ordered it. Plus it comes with a cute bag to hold the rope as well as an extra cable in case you need one of a different length for somebody else in your family, perhaps?

Great Addition to My Workouts!
I had been looking for a jump rope for several weeks when I found this one. Like you, I read reviews to help me make the decision on which one to buy. I received this jump rope about two weeks ago and I've been using it regularly in addition to my strength training and as a quick cardio session. It did take several adjustments until I got it to the perfect length for my height (5'3"). My fiance didn't cut the cable until it was just what I needed and used a couple of times. The cable is strong and the part that hits the ground has some sort of tubing for extra protection. The handles are sturdy, feel good in my hands and the weight is just right. The weights are removable, but I wasn't a fan of how it felt without them. It comes with a drawstring bag to carry with you and a second cable to switch out if necessary. I would definitely recommend this rope!

Excellent Rope, Keeps speed high, little more weight.
Was expecting it to feel heavier, but it still has a little heft. Great if you want to keep good speed and add a little work to the arms and shoulders, but if you want something that SERIOUSLY punishes the shoulders (at the cost of speed), get something heavier. I have a bit of experience jumping, this is a high quañity rope. I've got medium size hands, and it seemed to fit perfectly. People with longer than normal fingers or wider palms may find it a tad bit small. Excellent grip.It is a bit different than typical speed ropes, a little getting used to, but it can go fast, and you still have excellent controller for techniques like cross-overs, and still has incredible speed for double and triple unders.Cable is nice. One downside perhaps: it uses a loop over style to keeps cables in place. They do not come free easily which is what you want, the problem is if you want to use cables either smaller or larger than what it comes with, I'm not sure how secure it would be.The weights sit inside the handles nicely and DO NOT move around while jumping. It's taped kindof like a tennis racket, you can change it after it is worn by time.Overall, it is worth well more than you're paying for.

Love this rope!
This is an amazing rope. It’s easy to adjust for your height. I’ve been working on my double unders forever. Tonight I tried a few with this rope and it felt amazing. Somehow the weight in the handles helps me keep my elbows close to my sides and the rope turnover feels effortless. I’m excited to continue training with this, if you’re working on your double unders, I recommend this rope.

Awesome Training Rope
This jump rope provides a great way to vary workouts from the standard speed rope. Definitely going to throw it in my bag when I travel to spice up hotel workouts. The handles are high-quality - the right size for my hands and grippy with smooth turnover. The rope has a plastic cover that protects it if you want to take it outside. I wish the rope itself had a bit more weight to it, but overall this is a great addition to the gym bag and a huge value for the price!

Thicker Rope for the Win
I've been using a jumprope at the gym which is meant for training towards double-unders. I've gotten faster with it so time to move up to a WOD rope. Received this one from Amazon and : 1) really like the handles - the grip is great and the weights feel sturdy 2) like how the cord doesn't get too twisted. 3) Recommend switching the thinner rope with the thicker one that comes with the package. The heavier one has a more solid rotation thanks to the additional 'heft' of it which makes for a smoother spin.Overall, definitely recommended!

More for beginners...
This rope is okay. The handles are sturdy and the ball bearings are smooth and support basic speed work, double unders and arm cross overs. The problem is that the rope cable is super thin, with very little weight. All the weight is in the handles, which makes them feel sturdy, but also negates many of the benefits of using a weighted rope. There is literally no weight in the rope to offer resistance on the rotations, or to provide enough momentum to build maximum speed. If you’re just learning to jump rope, or only jump occasionally, you likely won’t notice any of this. If you’re an experienced jump roper or have worked with quality ropes, this one will be disappointing. Alas, I think I’ve been spoiled by the speed ropes at my gym.

Waist of money
Not worth the money... Just gave skipping rope away. Waste of money really.Just piece of wire glued to some really light useless handels.Had to buy another one from a different retailer... which I'm currently happy with.

Estética pero impractica
Compre esta cuerda porque se veía de buena calidad y muy estética. Llego bien y en forma. El problema es que el mecanismo de la cuerda es rotación entonces al saltar la cuerda se va enrollando. Cada que tropiezas tienes que deshacer los nudos que se le hacen a la cuerda. Es de verdad muy desgastante. Todo el tiempo tienes que deshacer nudos. Siento que es una falla de diseño. No la recomiendo.

Es posible que encuentres algo mejor por el precio
Tiene detalles muy agradables como la bolsa para guardarla, la cuerda extra de repuesto y la sensación de los materiales.Sin embargo, sí atora (enreda), un poco y el peso es de solo unos 370 gramos con todo y cuerda.Como sea, se gana sus 3 estrellas. Pero para llegar a más, le falta.

Materiales durables.
Excelente producto y calidad. Llegó antes de lo esperado, pero no incluye ningún tipo de manual. Evidentemente sólo se trata de saltar la cuerda, pero debería de incluir un apoyo gráfico de la postura correcta, cómo cortar la cuerda, tamaño recomendable de acuerdo a la estatura, para qué sirven los accesorios que incluye, etc.

Excelente compra
Es una excelente opción si es tu primera cuerda, o si quieres intentar esta forma de ejercicio. Es muy resistente, fácil de ajustar y el mango está muy bien, no me ha lastimado. Después de varios usos sigue como nueva. Además trae una bolsita para guardarla y otra cuerda de repuesto. La recomiendo mucho.
