How Long Should My Jump Rope Be?

[RurouniYume]

I'm 6'2 (pushing 6'3) and am using a 9 foot rope. I feel limited by the 9 foot rope and feel it's too short when performing crosses and dancing. Is 9 feet enough?

The rule of thumb is when you're standing on the rope and holding it in both hands it should come right up under your arm pits.

you should probably get a 9.5 ft rope at ur height

im 5'11 and i use a 9, and its pretty good for me

Yep Young Money is on the money. Stand on the rope and it should touch ya pits

I'm 6'1 and a 10ft rope does the job for me
