Great product, I like the feeling of the rope when it hits the ground, as it is not too heavy or light. I do wish the handles were a little bulkier. Also, I jump rope on the sidewalk, so the part where the rope touches the ground has started to get slightly shredded. This is to be expected with use since it’s being used on concrete, but it is worth mentioning. My last rope tore in half in the middle of a jump from overusing it on concrete.

I bought a macaroni like, plastic tubes jump rope first, probably because it was cheapest and what I knew as a kid. I got this "speed" rope 2nd and find it much easier to use as I am relearning to jump rope. I'm also pretty out of shape -- only a little overweight but a sedentary desk work-life. I'm finding jumping with fewer trips easier with this rope. Could be just what works for me, but it's my experience. Handles are comfortable. Length is adjustable. Moves through the air more easily than a true rope jumprope I had a number of years ago. Can't compare it to "many" other ropes, just the one macaroni rope and one rope-rope, but I like this speed, cable rope best.

This jump rope is pretty decent for what it cost. The rope itself is almost 10' long out of the box and made with a vinyl covering over woven nylon material. I'm over 6' and had to shorten it well over a foot, but it's very easy to do. The handles are about 5" long, which is a little shorter than on some of the other jump ropes out there, but they are still comfortable to use and give good grip. They are made from hollow plastic tubes with foam outer grips and rotating metal bearings where the rope enters as well as removable end plugs to access the ropes push-on nylon connectors to shorten it if needed. The jump rope is working well for me and seems to be holding up okay, so I think it was worth what I paid for it.

I have been using this jump rope for about a year now (1-2 times a week for up to an hour at most). I skip underneath a pavilion that has a concrete floor. The jump rope seems to still be in great shape and I don't see it breaking any time soon. In contrast, I've had speed ropes break in about 6 months of use.

The handles are a little short, but I was able to get used to them. This rope is also heavier than a speed rope, so I'd say it's nice for beginners.

The biggest problem I have with this rope is that it tangles up sometime but not too hard. I can still do crossovers, double-unders, and other tricks just fine with this rope.

It was surprised how well this jump rope is because of the cheap price tag. This jump rope is very versatile and durable. It's hard to find any fault in it as it's been pounded on concrete for over 6 months and counting now and still holds up. For the price and how well it performs, it's an easy recommendation. I'm sure they're other jump ropes better, but with this price tag and how easily it can adjust, it's hard to overlook especially when first starting out to jump rope or you just jump rope casually.
