Title: So so rope
Product review: I saw this at the Vitamin Shoppe and since I'm always willing to try new jump ropes, I picked it up. I like these type of speed ropes, the ones with ball bearing and a rubber encasing over the rope. I find that it spins smoothly and fast and its easier to do tricks that a lightweight speed rope (although not as easy as the beaded ropes for trick but overall, I like the speed rope better). This rope is adequate if you just want to skip, do some crossovers and some double unders etc. But the rubber is too stiff thus it doesn't unkink all that well and turning action isn't that great even though it has bearings. I've also bought an Altus speed rope similar to this which was marginally better. Believe it or not, the Sports Authority brand of "professional" speed rope is far superior than either. The rubber is much softer and it turns a lot faster and smoother. Still, this is a servicable rope, I'm sure you can get a very good workout and if that's all you want, then I recommend it.
