Size matters... adjust your jump rope accordingly

How to Size a Jump Rope

Jump ropes are just like shoes, bikinis, and underwear. When they’re sized correctly, they can make you look awesome. But an improperly sized rope can bring your whole world crashing down around you.

Our jump ropes are adjustable to ensure a perfect fit, however you need to start with a rope that’s close to the correct length. If in doubt, it’s better to buy a rope that’s too long than too short.

 Correctly Adjusting Your Punk Rope Jump Rope

  1. Stand on the middle of the rope with one foot
  2. Pull the handles straight up making sure the rope is taut.
  3. For less experienced jumpers, the top of the handles should reach close to the shoulder; for more experienced jumpers the top of the handles should reach the armpit.
  4. If the handles extend beyond your shoulders, your rope needs to be shortened. You can temporarily shorten your rope, tie one or more knots close to the handle.
