Easily hand exchange with rotations around the body or against the wall to simulate grip strength sports that need your full body control. Simulate tow ropes, motor sports and flying over pull up bars when you need to react to the unexpected terrain trying to pull you off balance.
Breaking Down The Walls:
Pounding this Rope Ball against the wall is no easy task and it's time to step up and show the world what you're made of. Each rep requires full body control and will tire you out quickly. Master these moves and make the last powerful rep as great as the first. The strong rebound will force you to compress and then quickly explode with stability. It's perfect for for dynamic sports such as basketball rebounding, football linemen and jumping sports.
Elysia's Notes:
The concrete playground booms when I am pounding this ball. So fun to slow down my reps and make each one powerful. The intense rebound requires me to have so much body control and a solid footing. I love the sledgehammer slam with the quick overhead rebound to decompress and reverse my compressed squat. The split hand training is also my favorite set of moves as I control unique rotations from the heavy weight.

Getting The Most of Our Superior Rebound:
Our Power Rope Balls rebound unlike any other and creates tremendous reaction energy. The harder you slam against the wall the greater the fast rebound and eccentric muscle control with shoulder stability needed. To properly bounce against the wall you need full range of motion and to get your hand inches from the wall. Limited range prevents the middle of the ball from hitting the wall and a direct opposite rebound vs hitting the top of the ball.
Get The Right Rope Length For Your Needs and Skill Level:
The longer the rope the farther the weight is from your body. This creates greater force on your joints and can be difficult to control for beginners. A shorter rope may be a better starting point for beginners and those learning shoulder control. Longer ropes give you the ability to slam the Rope Balls on the ground and have more body clearance on the rebound.
How To Measure:
A general rule is to have the rope end at the inside of your elbow crease. This allows you to have ground clearance if doing big shoulder swings. You will have enough rope length for extra grip knots and hand wraps. Measure from the ground to the inside of your elbow. Advanced users may want a longer rope for added hand wraps or behind the back swings.

How To Assemble Your Rope Ball:
Your Rope Ball has ridges inside to help secure the bottom plug. This is the plug that has one hole versus two
Pass your chosen rope length through the Rope Ball. The cap assembly goes inside the smooth surface of the Rope Ball
Thread one rope end through the bottom plug
Wedge the second rope end into the bottom plug
Then pull the longer rope and the second end will follow
Even out the rope ends. Slide the bottom flat plug to the Rope Ball
Make sure the rope is not twisted inside the Rope Ball. Push the bottom flat plug to secure it into place. The bottom plug goes into the Rope Ball end with the inside ridges. It may be difficult to push it in
Gently bounce your Rope Ball on the ground to tighten the rope in the top plug and reduce slack
Make sure the rope do not twist. Tie the bottom knot to secure the flat plug
Ensure rope top is protected and does not extend past the top rope cap. The bottom knot will secure the bottom cap. Check all surfaces for damage before and after each use
