Is a speed jump rope better then a trick jump rope? What is the difference between a speed and tricking rope? What is the best skipping rope? What is the best jump rope for beginners? What is the best skipping rope for tricks? Best jump rope for speed? We are going to be answering all those questions in todays Speed jump rope vs freestyle jump rope video!

(00:50) What is a freestye jump rope, aka trick rope?

A freestyle skipping rope has some pretty unique characteristics:
Longer handles to facilitate any tricking movements
Thicker plastic handles for durability
Medium thickness cable to speed and control

What I trully love about the trick rope is that it is a perfect compromise between speed and control. Usually heavy jump ropes are really easy to control, but hard to go fast with. While speed skip ropes can go really fast but are hard to control. The freestyle jump rope has the perfect mix of the two. It allows you to do speed moves like double unders while also doing tricks.

(02:32) What is a speed jump rope?

A speed skipping rope is pretty different then the freestyle jump rope, and here's why:
Shorter handles to enable you to jump rope faster
Lighter handles to prevent tiring
Thinner rope to reduce drag, weight, and friction
Swiel system to allow friction free rotation

To break speed records, you'll need a speed jump rope. Speed jump rope can really get you to go faster, which will allow you to warm up faster and work on your cardio and endurance. The usually metalic cable of speed ropes allows it to be used outside on harder surfaces.

Yet I wouldn't recommend skipping on hard surfaces, and here's why:    • What Are Shin Splints? And How Can You Get...  

What skipping rope is best or you?

If you are someone that uses jump rope to quickly warm up before your workouts, or use it between your sets, or really want to train on your cardio and respiration, and you're not that interested in learning new tricks, then a speed rope is your safest bet.

If you are looking to use a jump rope as your main workout, and / or want to learn some tricks, then a freestyle skipping rope is your best bet.

Note: Both jump ropes are great for burning calories equally well.
