 the perfect ropeJun 12, 2007
By Pittsburgher

with ball bearings in the wooden handles, and a real leather "rope" this is a perfect exercise jump rope. I am 5'10" and the 9.5 footer is the correct length for me. I would not get the shorter rope unless you are 5'6 or shorter in height.

 Good, but is it genuine?Jan 04, 2010
By CAVA
I received the item and had no problem on shortening the rope with a small tool I had. My only concern is that it came marked with a sticker in only one of the handles, not both. The "Everlast" brand is not 'burned' in the handle but it comes in a sticker, so it makes me wonder if it is genuine or not given that I have seen other everlast ropes before. Anyway, the product is great and after 3 weeks of use, it is still like new.

 decent but that is itMar 26, 2011
By mschoettle
When I bought this product about a month ago I was a beginner jump roper. I have been practicing with it about 5 days a week for those 4 weeks and have become pretty good to this point. I have noticed that when I began to speed jump the rope by one of the handles started to wear halfway through the leather and is about to break. The rest of the rope has held up well except for the area near the one handle. The friction caused by the handle is tearing the rope. I would recommend the rope for those who do not jump for speed. But since my goal is speed jumping I am currently looking for another rope.

Perfect lightweight jump rope...for midgets! :-PAug 17, 2011
By Han
I kinda sensed that this jump rope would not be as amazing as it looks! I still got this anyway because Everlast makes mostly boxing equipment so I figured this jump rope would be ideal, but it's wayyyyyy too light-weight and the 8 ft model actually feels short...even for a semi-midget like myself. I'm 5'6" but the rope still gets tangled up. So I would recommend the 9.5' model if you really want this jump rope. You can shorten it to your ideal length. The wooden handle is nice.
The jump rope does looks great! Makes you feel like you're a boxer...until you get all tangled up in it, then you feel like a douche!
So after this, I think the heavier weighted ropes make for better work outs! I'm just going to return this one and get maybe the Nike Weighted jump rope. I'll be that jackass calling for help when the rope is strangling me, however! :)

Solid product.Oct 26, 2010
By Joshua S. Gilgenbach

Not much to say about this item. It's a decent rope and works for my needs. Only problem I've had so far is the wooden handles up at the top where the rope sticks out is a bit brittle. I dropped the handles a few times outside while using and a big piece of the wood chipped off. Wood glued it back together and so far it's fine though. Was a little bit frustrated at the time though but all in all it's a good item.
Edit 12/13/10: Unfortunately after dropping the handle a few times, it broke on several occasions. The final time I dropped it, it broke as far as to the rope coming out of the handle entirely, making it pretty much unsalvagable. The wood handles of this rope are rather flimsy, made of a very light weight wood. Not upset about it but next time I'm going to go with a plastic handle jump rope.
