The skipping rope was dispatched within 2 days after ordering, which was good in advance! I've already tried it and am absolutely happy with it. After the first trial competition I can discover no flaw! I had to Shorten the rope slightly ('m 1,58m), but this was entirely due to the super easy solution to the handles. All in all, for me personally, a super rope and ideal for my cardio and Tabata training.
