A good trick to getting a good jump rope is when you grab the jump rope, step ont eh middle of it with both feet. then you grab the handles and pull it towards you. The length should be about your waist and if anything a little bit higher like an inch or so. Never shorter or longer than you waist. That should get a good jump rope. That is the trick that I was taught. I would also suggest getting one that is not made complety out of super light string because any wind and it'll blow easily, or because of it lightness it doesn't get the right speed to pass your head. Hope this helps! =)
