Summary: Great action, easily broken
Comment: When I first started using this rope I was blown away by how much cleaner and faster the rope turned than the others I had tried. But unfortunately, the plastic broke right at the insert between the rope screw and handle after only a month of casual use. I returned the rope for a new one, which broke in the same way after only two trips to the gym. The problem is that the rope starts to unscrew itself from the handle, which puts tremendous shearing force on the weakest part of the plastic handle as you rotate it up and down. I read something about applying a thread lock, which may be a solution. I can't believe such an expensive rope from the great Buddy Lee has such a fatal flaw.

Summary: Great rope but...handles are a weak spot
Comment: This rope is great for jumping however, as others have mentioned, the rope has a weak spot right at the bearing insert point.
I will buy the aluminum version as the performance in general is outstanding.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pricey shipping, nice jump rope
Comment: The swivel bearing is the best feature of this rope. You can tell that it spins faster and easier than other ropes. If you're used to a leather rope, it may seem a little lightweight at first. I've also read reviews that criticize the plastic "rope" for wearing down quickly, which I think it would do if you were jumping on concrete. If you jump on padded or wood floors there will be adequate rope life. Also, the rope takes a while to lose its "memory" from being in the box, but after you hang it over a door or something for a few days it's fine. The shipping cost almost prevented me from buying it, but I had a gift certificate so I talked myself into it.

Summary: Handles Break at Swivel Bearing End!
Comment: For performance,this rope is 5/5 - jump rope is lot easier and the long handles take a lot of strain off the shoulders/back muscles. Unfortunately the construction of the rope is poor, the plastic handles break easily - mine cracked at the bearing end just from casual indoor use. I never dropeed the rope or treated it badly and from normal use the handles broke, bearings came out and now the rope is useless.
I will be purchasing the Aero Speed - as I loved the design of Buddy Lee's ropes, and this one has aluminium handles so hopefully they wont crack and break!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Rope
Comment: Great rope. I gave it 4 stars as I have not tried every rope out there, but this one is fast and a joy to use. The longer handles with the foam padding are comfortable. As the instructions go slow when you are cutting the rope down to size. I took a half inch off at a time the first few uses to make sure I did not go to short. I still have a few more inches to get rid of for a perfect fit.
