Boxing speed skipping rope for a 14 year old ?

Question

ok im a thin 5ft 5 14 year old boy, i have recently taken up boxing but i want to buy a speed skipping rope, but they all seem quite long what would be a good length rope for me?

Answer 1

I am one inch taller than you! But, like that matters! Anyway, to answer your question, ( Just a suggestion) I would get at least six feet. That way, you do not have to buy a new rope every few weeks/months/days. you need at least two inches at the bottom, and three for the top, so you can hang on to it without having to jump to low, or to slow. Good luck in Boxing!
