A 2.5mm coated aircraft cable gives the rope enough mass to hold a clean arc at speed without whipping, and it's cut at 10ft (approx. 3m) so it can be trimmed and set for your height - clamp, cut, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handles are heavy-duty 15cm aluminium with a knurled easy-grip finish that doesn't slip once your hands are sweating, and each one connects to the cable through a closed-bearing swivel. That dual-bearing setup is what lets the cable turn freely under the handle rather than twisting the cable itself, so the rotation stays smooth and consistent through double-unders and long conditioning rounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It Suits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxers, kickboxers and MMA athletes doing round-based skipping for footwork and conditioning, CrossFit and cross-training athletes chasing double-unders, and anyone who has worn out a PVC rope and wants one that turns faster.

For speed skipping and double-unders the handle tops should reach roughly armpit height; for general fitness, shoulder height gives a little more clearance. Set the cable to that length in the handle clamp, then trim the excess with cable cutters and leave a few centimetres spare in case you want to lengthen it later. Get it right before you cut - a cable can be shortened, not stretched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCable or PVC rope - which should I get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCable ropes are faster and more consistent and are the standard for boxing conditioning and double-unders, but a mis-timed cable stings when it hits your shins. PVC is slower, heavier and more forgiving - better for learning rhythm. If you already skip comfortably, cable; if you're starting out, PVC first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, but on smooth surfaces only.
