    Hey, I am around 6' tall and I ordered a lifeline 9.5' speed rope. Do you guys think it will be the right size? i was told 9' if your under 6' and 10' if your over 6'. I'm pretty sure it will work, i just wanted to make sure.

    Thanks a lot

    Im same hight and i find 9 ft too long as i like it to be quite close to my head , i got the ever last 8ft leather roper and use that fine. I also recently bought a nike adjustable 9ft one and adjusted it down a bit probably 8ft 5. I find if you stand in the middle and both handles come up to the arm pit then thats about right, my mate reckons it should come up to the waist but he always seems like hes hunched over when skipping.
