This review is from: Buddy Lee's Rope Master Jump Rope (Misc.)

I've read reviews and forum comments that say something to the effect of, "It's just a rope. It's not worth that much money." Well, it's not just a rope and it is worth the extra dollars. I'll tell you why.

This rope is perfect for beginners because it makes jumping rope easier and safer. And it really motivates you. I have an Everlast rope and simply can't use it. It's too short for me. Moreover, the rope doesn't feel right. But with the Buddy Lee Rope Master Jump rope I am actually learning to jump rope and enjoy it. I can make the rope just the right length for me. And I can adjust it so the swivel is comfortable. It makes jumping fun and easy.

It is designed with an advanced swivel bearing system for high intensity jump rope training and makes jumping easy, effortless and fun. The 9" long handles are designed for both children and adults for easy execution of basic and advanced jumping skills for the serious adult or youth athlete/fitness buff. I especially like the feel of the light weight handles. They're long and easy to control. The rope swivels easily so you don't have to move your arms and hands much.

I do the P.A.C.E and 4-3-2-1 fitness workouts and find the jump rope perfect for the cardio portion. I'll tell you something else, there not a better workout than rope jumping --- at any age or any fitness level. When you do cardio, you need to get your heart rate up and really start breathing hard. Otherwise, you're not making your heart and lungs stronger. Nothing does that better and faster than jumping rope. And this rope is just about the best investment in your health you can make.

Highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buddy Lee's Rope Master Jump Rope?! Should be "Bachelors" not Masters Jump Rope., November 15, 2010

This review is from: Buddy Lee's Rope Master Jump Rope (Misc.)

When I ordered this jump rope I was thrilled about receiving it. I had done the research, thought I found a real winner....

Let me begin with the good:
1. The rope is fast and the bearing mechanisms at the end of the plastic handles are clever and work well (with a little lubricant as the squeaked when I received it). Unfortunately that is where the good ends.

The bad:
1. The bearing mechanism at the end of the handles were not smooth until I lubricated them, then they moved much quicker and smoother.
2. The plastic handles are ridiculously fragile and you have to be very careful about attaching the bearing tips to each handle or you will crack the handle which are literally egg shell fragile. When I received the rope the bearing ends would get loose every time I used the rope so I had to constantly hand tighten each end until I got home to use the little wrench which was provided. I gently snugged each end down and I mean gently. I was careful not to over-tighten as there is a little washer which helps provide a lock against the nut that is embedded into the plastic handle. That area eventually cracked anyway, very poor engineering and poor quality plastic.
3. The foam padding is too short and slides around on each handle.
4. The PVC rope cord broke in no time and the cost to purchase a lousy piece of cord for this rope is $9.95 plus shipping. Are you kidding me? If you look around you can find alternative replacement cords for a fraction of the cost.
5. Inserting the cord end into the bearing ends and screwing each end into place takes strong fingers and patience. Be careful you don't develop carpal tunnel from the difficulty.

Overall evaluation: Look around and find a better choice for a rope than this. I do not recommend this rope as it is too fragile and has no longevity.

This product enables pure efficiency for jump rope enthusiasts. Forget the awkwardness of imperfect and unbablance ropes, Buddy Lee's product is your solution. This rope is tough, light and fast. If you are an above average jump roper, and you desire to fine tune your skills, get this product. Ever since I bought it, I find using any other rope (leather, beaded, weighted...etc..) as step backwards.
