I’ve been having an interesting conundrum lately, so get out that Sherlock getup again, Kyle. I’m your height, have a similar rope length (roughly 8 ft.), and have previously skipped with good form with a small strike zone, but recently, with the same rope length and shoes, it’s hitting much farther out. If I tie a knot, it barely traces, or even misses, the ground, and I don’t have enough room for crossovers. The answer is my form, but it’s hard for me to figure out what’s different. I suspect my having not worked out certain muscle groups lately may have affected my jumping posture. Maybe I brought my hands even closer to my sides lately, but my form wasn’t bad before. One thing I noticed is how the strike zone decreases when my basic skip has the handles pointed out to the sides more instead of being more forward at the start of the rotation. I like to flare my wrists diagonally, push down with my thumbs, and let the rope rotate my wrists. I’ll keep filming, try to be efficient, and make sure I’m not neglecting certain muscle groups.

Haha I may have to! Based on the description you have provided I deduce that your hands may be drifting forward, lower or a combination of the two causing the rope to bottom out early. This would also explain why trying a shorter rope is then too short. Record a side shot version and see if you can identify the issue (use slow motion). If you want to get it under a 🔎, let me know and we can set something up🤙

[@Murphy2043]

Thanks! That could very well be it. I have long arms so my hands being too far forward is feasible. I suspect my chest, traps, and shoulders need more engagement to bring my arms back more. I know you prefer to engage the lats and bring the shoulders down so I'll see if that helps.

​@@Murphy2043 when it comes to muscle engagement, be careful to not become stiff. With a light rope (basic 5-6mm PVC weight) you want to be relaxed as the centrifugal force won't be much. The main thing is you don't want to be actively pulling your shoulders back or shrugging them. I love to see that you are digging deep on what is working and finding what doesn't. 👍🤜
