Better Feel For Large Hands:
Large hands need a larger grip for some exercises! Our 3" Mini Rope Grip is here to rescue your overtightened forearm muscles or the feeling of the rope being too thin in your hand.
Keep An Open Hand On Sledgehammer Drills:
Increase your core strength and rotation power for sports like baseball and tennis. Sledgehammer drills allow you to grip then keep an open and relaxed hand to prevent flexor strength imbalance.
Place the 3" Mini Ball grip Interlocking Grip Holds For Swings:
Try this super cool move and feel like an olympic hammer thrower. Place the 3" grip at the end of the rope. Interlock your fingers and keep the 3" ball held between the palms of your hands. This allows you to relax your hands and swing our Power Rope Ball around your body. Work on 180 and 360 pivots for body awareness
Develop Strongman Grip Strength:
For those of you needing to develop incredible grip strength- this is for you! Sized similar to a baseball, imagine having the added weight of our Power Rope Ball several feet away from your grip. Swing around your body and hold on tight because the added leverage is incredibly challenging to hold onto. Perfect for grip sports like wrestling, football tackling, rugby, farmers walks with weights and strongman grip competition.
How To Assemble:
-
Untie bottom knot to separate
- Thread one rope end through the Rope Grip
- Wedge the second rope end into 3" Rope Grip
- Pull the long rope though and the second one will follow
- Tie off knots where desired
- You can add a second 3" Rope Grip if desired
Elysia's Notes:
The 3" Rope Grip is a cool addition to our Power Rope Ball lineup. I have small hands and don't feel like I over-grip the rope like someone with large hands. I really like being able to keep my hands open and cradle the rope in the split hand sledgehammer move against the wall. For me, swinging by just holding onto the grip at the very end of the rope is super challenging on grip strength. I can definitely see that being great for athletes needing major grip strength. Lots of training options to fit your needs- ahhh, the heart of Si Boards and what we strive to give you. Have a blast!

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.
