What if I am between two lengths?
Beginners:
If you are new to skipping rope training and have never jumped before, choose the longer version. This gives you more room for error when learning.
Advanced:
If you already have experience with jumping or generally have good coordination, then it depends on your personal preference. If you mainly want to maximize the speed of your jumps, then we recommend the shorter version. If you prefer to work on your tricks and freestyle jumps, the longer version is more suitable.
If your rope is too long, you can easily shorten it yourself. You can find instructions here. Alternatively, you can also contact us to exchange the size.
Does it matter whether my arms are long or short?
No. The arm length does not change the corresponding size recommendation. For correct hand positioning, your hands should be at hip height when the hands are about 20-30cm away from your body on each side. If you have longer arms, try bending your elbows a little more to keep your hands in the right place. You should NOT get a longer rope.
Does the rope length include the length of the handles?
No. The measured length only takes into account the length of the rope from one end to the other.
