Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a solid quality jump rope, with decent weight and excellent ball bearings to keep rope from tangling/twisting. It is easily coiled with a flick of the wrists to store in corner on floor, and easily uncoils itself by simply lifting the handles back up off the floor. I've deducted a star for lack of any instruction on how to change length of rope. Most people don't want to be bothered with analytically figuring out how to accomplish the task; I'm rather analytical, and it wasn't very intuitive even for me. Instructions for changing rope's length (see my pic as well): 1) Unscrew the end of the handle (that the rope enters) from the grip portion of the handle. Set grip portion aside and you'll see end of rope with a black plastic fitting. 2) The black plastic fitting is basically an outer sleeve (the widest section) that compresses onto an inner crimping sleeve (which only has a narrow neck showing). If you firmly grip the wider outer sleeve section with thumb/index/middle fingers of one hand while (vigorously) wiggling the lengthy section of rope TOWARDS the wide sleeve, you will ultimately dislodge the narrow neck and its connected inner sleeve from within the outer sleeve. 3) Move the inner sleeve to your desired location for shortening/lengthening the rope, press the outer sleeve back onto the inner sleeve to crimp it in place, and reassemble the handle. Note: You may, or may not, want to cut any excess rope off before reassembly. Cutting the excess is obviously permanent/irreversible, but leaving too much excess in the handle could create some unwanted noise/scraping or perhaps slightly hinder the rope's free rotation. **I received the item at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review; there is no future incentive (or penalty risk) that influences my rating of the product--please click "Yes" if this review was very helpful**
