Overview

Method #1 - The most accurate method would be for you to measure a rope that you currently use. That's a rope that lets you jump with your normal posture using your normal mechanics while allowing for adequate clearance overhead (usually 6 to 8 inches) and a bottom out point within 12 inches from your toes..  That measurement is of the rope only, not including the handles. Please pay attention if your current rope has a flexible cord. The stretch in a flexible cord could add and additional 4 to 6 inches to an Rx cable. We will then custom cut your Rx Jump Rope to that exact measurement.

Method #2 - The next method is a 2 part process to find a general cable length. 

  1. First take your height if you're 5'6" or shorter and add 2'8" to it. Example: 5'6" plus 2'8" equals 8'2". Or take your height if you're 5'7" or taller and add 3' to it. Example: 5'7" plus 3'0" equals 8'7". Write down that length to reference later.
  2. Next would be to follow the universal standard of measuring from the BASE of your sternum for athletes 5'7" or taller or to the MIDDLE of your sternum for athletes 5'6" or shorter, down under the arch of ONE foot and back up to the same spot on the sternum. Make sure to wear your normal work out shoes and stand up straight while taking this measurement.
  3. Now compare the 2 lengths from Part 1 and Part 2 and either choose the longer one or split the length down the middle. Either one should be a reasonable length for you to jump effectively with. This is only a general guideline to help you get started.

Five Cable Choices To Cover All Work Capacities:

Hyper 1.3 - Lightest speed cable around for athletes working 100+ double unders. Requires tremendous wrist dexterity/coordination to maintain movement. Offers the least amount of shoulder fatigue but also the hardest cable to feel if shoulders are already fatigued. Excellent cable when going for max reps of double unders.

Ultra 1.8 - Excellent all around speed cable for any athlete working 75-100 consecutive double unders. Requires more wrist dexterity/coordination than heavier cables yet give greater feedback than lighter speed cables.  Perfect rope for any max effort or high volume crossfit work out.

Elite 2.6 - Fantastic for athletes who are working 20-50 consecutive double unders. Great precursor to gain coordination before moving to lighter speed cables. Also a great all around cable for any crossfit work out.

Buff 3.4 - Ideal for athletes who are connecting 10 or less double unders together. Nicely weighted to give great feedback yet offers very smooth turn over. Still a good, all around cable for any mid-volume crossfit wod or as a medium weight training rope.

Beast 4.1 - Great for bigger/taller athletes tackling double unders for the first time. Allows users to gain coordination while heavier cable provides the inertia to allow for slower rhythm.  Also an excellent heavy training rope if you're looking for dynamic input.

This is the first cable jump rope ive ever bought, and im glad i did. with a normal cheap jump rope, it was near impossible to just get 2 double unders. With this rope, im up to 21 d/u in just 2 days.

its sooo much better than original plastic jump ropes.

Smooth

I am in that "connecting 10 or less double unders" category, and after trying several other rope I have found this rope to be the most smooth, comfortable and best built.

I still have work to do on my d/u's, but this rope will be along for that ride.

My only warning: If, like me, you are still working on your doubles, be prepared for some pain. This rope is fast and heavy and a miss can occasionally end with a nasty, deep whip mark. The backs of my thighs look tortured.

Nice Rope

Review by Pete

This is my first jump rope since starting CrossFit in July. I found the measuring instructions to be accurate, as well as the guide for selecting the correct cable weight. Be honest with your abilities when selecting your cable weight though - pick where you're at now, not where you want to be.

The handles on this rope are very comfortable in the hand, and they are relatively light weight considering they are more than a simple plastic handle with a cable tied to it. The ball bearing connection makes for a very smooth flowing rope. Connection point from cable to handle is well designed. This should last for quite a while.

I am double-under challenged, and after trying several different ropes, this one actually made a difference for me. Prior to getting this rope, I could only do two double unders in a row. Right out of the box, I did 6 with this thing. Great conditioning tool

Great Jump rope... But..

This is a fantastic rope, but there is only one issue. Be forewarned that this type of rope primarily is only for inside use. Unless you can find a surface outside that will not damage your well made rope. Other than that issue this rope is superb. Thank you Rogue Fitness!
