Weighted Jump Ropes - Recommend Brands?

[RatherAnOddball]

There seem to be a few on the market, and I haven't the opportunity to try even one of them. So have you had any positive experiences with any? Or, perhaps more importantly, negative experiences with any?

Thanks very much.

I sometimes use a cheap beaded rope I bought on the web a while back. Quite frankly, I prefer a good speed rope that has ball bearings in the handles and I'm not sure I even brought the beaded rope with me when I moved a while back. In fact, I know I didn't.

Yea, I like speed ropes better than weighted ropes. If you want to add extra weight I've heard of people using wrist weights, so you get the benefit of the extra weight without the decrease in speed.
