The Most Unique Small and Light Power Rope Ball
The perfect set of small and light Power Rope Balls for your shoulder mobility, hip drive training, warm-up stretches, on rhythm slams, off rhythm 1-2 slams and stability. Great for overhead athletes who need strength to rebound or block. Scapular strength will increase as you fine tune your joint angles and continually slam into high reps.
Light And Quick:
5" Small Power Rope Ball is perfect for beginners, shoulder strength and endurance, fine tuning your coordination and learning how to engage core control with swinging motions. Quick motions without excessive weight helps you keep posture stability.
Start Your Engine:
A great ball size and weight to get warmed up for the big game. Small enough to carry with you and light enough to get a great warm-up sweat without tiring you out. Wake up your body structures and core control to get the most out of the important reps. Great for figure 8's, clockwise and counterclockwise rotations to the front and side of your body.
Double Trouble:
The small size of this rope ball lets your use two at the same time against the wall. Throw both hands upward and simulate an Olympic snatch or slam downward and behind you to simulate a double hand paddle. Open your chest and arms towards the wall and then cross your arms. Fine tune your coordination for alternating backstroke motions and let both shoulders work in unison.
Unique Size:
A perfect size for complex shoulder and wrist mobility moves. Confidently rotate these with outstretched arms and have plenty of body clearance compared to large Rope Balls. Find new ways to warm-up such as swinging under your legs as you high kick or use double behind your back for thoracic mobility.
Elysia's Notes:
Wow! Do I love these small 5" Power Rope Balls. They are so perfect for warm up. I wrap around my hand once and secure the rope around my hand. This allows me to get big swinging motions and open my hand at the top of my swing when I need the most stretch from my shoulder tissue. I warm up my shoulder mobility before heading to the wall. And when I am at the wall it's nothing but double trouble! I love the complex coordination of crossing the rope balls and burning shoulder endurance.

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 Remove Your Old Rope and Rope Cap:

Pull the remaining rope through
Use a cardboard tube and slide the Rope Ball over the tube
Turn the Rope Ball over and slide firmly over a pipe or broom handle to "pop" the cap out
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
