It works well with the 1/2lb but not so well with the 1/4lb. I find the 1/4lb harder to control using the power handles.

Hi Doug its an amazing rope. Yes it’s tough to use I could barely jump for 10 seconds when I first tried, but the results I got are worth it. I used to have a high resting heart rate that always bothered me. 93 beats per min when I wasn’t doing anything. Using the ultra heavies lowered it to 60bpm. Lowest I’ve measured was 55. Give it a go you won’t regret it

Hi Jy I use basketball shoes they are nike but obviously they are not the top of the range. They cost £39.99. Definitely more comfortable that before where I was using converse all stars chucks.

Hi guys and thanks for welcoming me in. I’m 39 from London England. I suppose my goals are what Dan and Brandon always say “to get fit/live more” I also want to learn some skills (all I do is regular bounce) I can do crosses but they look very awkward. Love crossropes (I own a lot of there ropes. The 5lb rope being my favourite as it really improved my fitness)
