Product Summary
The XYLSports Jump Rope is a highly affordable tool for people who are just learning how to skip rope. The 9-foot-8-inches rope is easily adjusted for people of most heights, including children. Simply open the handle, pull the cable through and cut it, knotting it off.
With a bearing system, the rope spins well enough for beginners to get the hang of it. A light cable means that tripping up won’t leave whip marks the way speed ropes or heavy ropes will. The rope itself is 5 millimeters thick and made from PVC.
The foam handles are comfortable and easy to grip, but will probably wear over time.
