Overview
The Rogue E-Grip Jump Rope is a high-performance speed rope designed with a focus on ergonomics and grip security. It features a unique, tapered handle with a pre-installed over-grip, similar to a high-end tennis racket. This makes it the ideal choice for athletes who struggle with handle slippage due to sweat or those who prefer a more cushioned, substantial feel in their hands during high-volume double-under sets.

Sizing and Adjustment Instructions
The E-Grip Jump Rope is a "one-size-fits-most" rope that must be manually adjusted to your height before its first use.
Measure: Stand on the center of the cable with one foot and pull the handles upward.
Find your length: * Standard: The cable (not the handles) should reach your armpit.
Advanced: Shorten the rope further to increase the cycle rate and efficiency.
Secure: Slide the adjustable set screw to the desired position.
Test: Perform a few jumps to ensure the arc is correct before cutting.
Trim: Use wire cutters to trim the excess cable, leaving about 1 inch for micro-adjustments. Replace the rubber end cap over the cut wire.
Maintenance and Surface Recommendations
Surface Selection: This is a speed rope with a coated wire cable. To protect the coating and the internal wire, it should only be used on rubber gym mats or smooth indoor surfaces. Use on concrete or asphalt will significantly reduce the cable's lifespan.
Grip Maintenance: The absorbent wrap can be wiped down with a damp cloth. If the wrap becomes overly worn or loses its tackiness after heavy use, it can be replaced with standard tennis over-grip tape.
Storage: Coil the rope loosely in a circle. Avoid "kinking" the cable, as permanent bends in the wire will disrupt the smoothness of your double-unders.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How is the E-Grip different from the SR-1? A: While both use high-quality bearings, the E-Grip features a larger, more ergonomic handle with a soft, absorbent wrap. The SR-1 uses a standard tapered nylon handle without a wrap.
Q: Can I replace the cable if it wears out? A: Yes. The E-Grip is compatible with all Rogue Speed Replacement Cables.
Q: Is this rope good for people with large hands? A: Yes. The 6.5" length and the tapered diameter of the E-Grip handles make them very comfortable for athletes with larger hands who find slim speed rope handles difficult to hold.
Q: Can I change the color of the grip? A: The rope comes standard with a black grip. However, you can wrap any standard athletic or tennis grip over the handle to customize the color or thickness.
