SIMPLE and worth it
By Vanessa A. Trevino on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2017
Best money spent. This product has been a real conversation starter and motivator to others. I purchased the product for myself as I am a PE Coach and we were going to do a Jump Rope Unit. I figured I would have my own rope and it wouldn't hurt to have one to use to get in shape. I stumbled across this brand, and I am lucky and glad that I did. In PE we always find ways to motivate the kids to be active and we love for them to get engaged with things that promote health and wellness. It's amazing what "an adjustable ninja black jump rope" will do (the quotes are what my Elementary kids have used to describe the product). I Co-teach with another PE Coach who is double my age, but when she saw the rope she immediately was intrigued herself to take it out for a spin. She said she hadn't jumped roped in ages, but this rope was so much fun and felt nice when in hands that she was motivated to work out with it all day. The kids were so engaged at the fact that the PE Coaches were staying super active with them jumping rope, that they began to ask about the product as well, and where could they get one. We have decided to use the "adjustable ninja black rope" as an incentive to let kids who master their basic jump rope skills to give it a try. We are hoping to look at our budget to see about getting a few to add to our equipment collection. The rope does feel nice in the hands and is also appealing and very light weight, which makes it easy for travel. I will invest in better wire cutters when fitting myself for this rope. The cable doesn't tangle which I love. I do wish that the logo on the handles was made to where it wouldn't wear off as easily after many uses. I love the logo and proudly sport it now. This rope was used by people ranging from 7 yrs-60yrs and we all had the same smile and determination to master certain tricks with this rope. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Plastic tab snapped off the handle after about an hour
By Vendetta on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019
I'm new to jump rope, so I don't feel qualified to give a 1 star rating. I'm probably holding it wrong, and after about 15-20 jumps I land on the rope. I theorize that if someone never ever makes a mistake in their jumping, that this is a fine rope. It's fast and light weight. Just not suited for beginners. Every time I landed on the rope, the plastic tabs that attach the rope to the handles bent down a little bit. After about an hour or two total of use, the right hand plastic tab was bent straight down at a near 90 degree angle and the rope was rubbing against the handle, and the left one was bent down to about 45 degrees. I bent them back into place and the next time I used the rope the tab snapped off, rendering the equipment useless. It's an inexpensive rope. It's fast. Any gripes about the rope "hurting" when it hits you are nonsense (it doesn't hurt any more than the plastic bead ones, or the leather ones, or the vinyl ones we had back when I was in school). I saw some reviews about it coming apart, which is also nonsense because there's screws on the end and you can make them as tight as you want. I bought it because most of the negative reviews I saw were these kinds of things, which didn't discourage me as I own a screw driver and am not afraid of getting hit by a jump rope. However, there's a fundamental design flaw in a jump rope that has a thin flat piece of plastic affixing the rope to the handle, because of course through normal use it's going to bend, and the kind of plastic they use isn't the super durable kind that you can bend back and forth for an hour, but the kind you bend once and it cracks, then bend back up and down again and it snaps off. Also, returning it was hassle free, so there's that.
