How To Size Your Rope

We Follow Two Basic Principles With Regard To Jump Rope Length; The First Is “Static” Rope Length. That’S The Actual Length Of A Rope Not In Motion. The Second Is “Dynamic” Rope Length. That’S The Rope In Motion Where The Athlete’S Mechanics Can Influence The Effective Length Of The Rope.

Our Sizing Chart Will Attempt To Guide You To An Ideal “Static” Rope Length. This Rope Length Is Intended To Fit A Specific Posture While Jumping. That Posture Can Be Described As Follows. Starting With Your Anchor Point, Which Is Your Hand Placement. Hands Should Be Positioned At Your Midline Axis And Right At Your Frontal Plain. Your Hands Can Slide In Or Out Along This Axis Depending On Your Shoulder’S External Rotational Flexibility.

Your Elbows Should Be Relaxed Down By Your Side With Your Shoulders As Disengaged As Possible. Again External Rotational Flexibility May Dictate Whether Your Elbows Need To Pull Backwards In Order To Keep Your Hands From Shifting Forward Of Your Frontal Plain. Once We Have Your Anchor Point Isolated At Your Midline Axis We Then Look For Your Jump Rope To Have An Even Turnover Passing Over Head And In Front Of The Toes With A Minimum Of 12 Clearance At Both Points.

If We’Ve Met All Of Those Standards Then We’Ve Placed The Athlete In The Best Possible Position To Have Balance And Symmetry Between Their Body And Their Rope. It Will Now Only Depend On The Athlete’S Efficiency Of Mechanics To Dictate Their “Dynamic” Rope Length

When Viewing The Sizing Chart (See Images & Videos Tab) Please Locate Your Height While Wearing Your Normal Work Out Shoes. Then See The Indicated Rope Length Recommended For That Height. That Is The Measurement You Would Select When Purchasing Your Custom Rx Jump Rope.
