Great jump rope for crossovers
I've been using this PVC jump rope for a couple weeks now and I have to say, I'm really impressed with its quality and performance. This jump rope is perfect for CrossFit and other fitness activities, and it's especially great for doing crossovers.Compared to a speed rope, this PVC jump rope is much easier to do crossovers with. The rope is a bit thicker and heavier than a speed rope, which means that it moves more slowly and is easier to control. This makes it perfect for practicing crossovers, as the slower speed and increased control make it easier to get the rope in the right position.While it's still possible to do double unders with this jump rope, I have to admit that a speed rope is better for that. The thicker rope makes it a bit harder to get the speed and timing right, which can make double unders more challenging. However, for single unders, crossovers, and other freestyle tricks, this PVC jump rope is absolutely fantastic.The quality of this jump rope is excellent. The PVC coating on the rope is smooth and durable, and the handles are comfortable to grip. The length of the rope is easily adjustable, so it's suitable for people of different heights.Overall, I highly recommend this PVC jump rope for anyone looking for a high-quality jump rope that is great for crossovers and other freestyle tricks. While it's still possible to do double unders with it, a speed rope might be better for that particular skill. But for everything else, this jump rope is an excellent choice.

Awesome jumprope, better than any available for use at my gym and look fancy
Before we start it is important to note that this is a no-bearing PVC cord rope. If you are doing crossfit and will ONLY be doing double-unders with both feet get a metal wire rope. For pretty much everyone else this is the kind of rope you'll want. 90-degree angles, bearings (with some exceptions like the expensive patented Buddy Lee ones), and metal wire makes doing cross overs and tricks way harder, and not for the right reasons. You don't need bearings or wire to do double-unders, I can do them with this rope, but it is def easier with a dedicated metal wire rope with bearings. Know your goals before you buy.I'm not a big jumprope trick person, but I do box and as a result find myself jumproping and doing jumprope tricks a lot. This rope is perfect for that. Mine came relatively kink-free (where I live it is very hot, this may be why) so I did not need to boil the cord. The handles are very light, and this is what you want if you are doing this for cardio. Weighted handles work your forearms and shoulders more, but they reduce the length of time you can jump making them worse for cardio. The long handles make it easier to cross over and do tricks with your hands staying by your hips. The grips are shaped smartly and the rubber grips make it look like a jump rope worth spending $13 on and do help grip a little but above all are just more comfortable to hold between your fingers than hard plastic. The palm bulge at the end feels very ergonomic, at least to my hands. The PVC cord seems tougher than others I've seen, but it definitely won't hold up for a long time outdoors or on concrete, so bring a rug or a cardboard box if you know you will be jumping on rough concrete so your cord will last, and try to jump mostly on soft or smooth surfaces like a basketball court or foam mats. I recommend NOT cutting the cord at first. Just make 1-3 knots on either side about 8-12 inches from the handle at first. If 2 weeks pass without you adding or removing one, then you can cut and adjust (you can never go longer if you cut, and knots are helpful at first). The adjustment system worked fine for me when I tested it, but I still like having knots most the time.My only complaint is that I would have loved (and wold've been willing to pay 2-3 bucks more ) to get a version with 1 or 2 extra cords in another color, as I plan to keep this as my main rope since I like it so much and know that someday in the future I will have to separately order a new cord. Attached is a photo of the minor scratches on the cord after a week or two of heavy use every day (so it'll last a long time but not forever).Also, and this has nothing to do with this rope in particular, always jump with shoes on and only jump 1-3 inches off the group or you will beat up your knees and get shin splints, plus you can go longer this way. Just like anything there is right and wrong form and wrong form hurts so watch a YouTube video or something on good form. I learned this the hard way on my last rope.

Good rope but don't get white.
The handle and pvc is very good. I bought several with different pvc thickness and lengths so I can switch up anytime. However, white pvc ropes seem to be a different compound and it sticks when doing crossing or anytime the rope touches each other. I have several of these and can easily cross with the green pvc. However, the white pvc rope sucks. Whatever you do, do not order the white rope. I have spare PVCs and swapped out the white with a different color and voila!!! It's all good.

Not worth price
Its a good rope for beginners to learn timing and rhythm. Not responsive for speed. Given thats a pro rope for tricks, thats an issue. My 2$ basic rope is better under skipping for speed

Tangles sometimes
It's light, durable, and very smooth but when you try to do freestyle it can tangle up every once and a while.

Great rope
Had a small issue with my rope and was quickly handled by the seller. It’s a fun rope and lets you get going. I’ve jumped for awhile but am learning tricks so got this. Seems good so far but I’m still new at that type of jumping. Highly recommend. It’s light which is good and bad depending on your preference. Definitely worth the money though.

Not bad for the price
I purchased this because of the handle style. I have another rope with similar handles that are amazing. This set is almost the same but the rope isn’t quite as good.Still a good rope for the price. Value is definitely there.

Best skipping ropes I've owned.
Durable and good for any type of skipping;.single unders, double underd, crossovers etc. They don't fall apart like speed ropes when used on concrete.

Best beginner jump ropes I have (from a collection of 8).
I own around 8 or 9 jump ropes and by far these are the easiest to use. Extremely forgiving for beginners.

Importing the rope into UK makes it too pricey. Cheaper and better ropes available in the UK
At the same price point, much better options available locally in the UK. The rope was too light and not enough feedback when learning to execute tricks like the crossover
