Replace your rope if any of these conditions are present: Any signs of abrasion due to excessive friction Glazing or melting of the fibers giving it a hard glassy surface Any increase or decrease in rope diameter Discoloration from exposure to chemicals Loss of flexibility Core fiber exposure or kinking / twisting of the rope. Check Your Urethane Caps and Power Rope Ball: With continued use, periodically take the top rope cap out of the top of the ball and inspect all surfaces. Pull the rope out of the top cap and inspect the inner core for solid construction. A damaged top cap should not be used. You can also check the rope around the urethane holes for signs of damage.

How To Remove Your Old Rope and Rope Cap: Untie all knots Pull top mushroom shaped cap out from the Rope Ball Stagger the rope ends to allow one to pass through at a time from the bottom flat plug Pull the remaining rope through Use a cardboard tube and slide the Rope Ball over the tube Turn the Rope Ball over and slide firmly over a pipe or broom handle to "pop" the cap out How To Assemble Your Rope Ball: Your Rope Ball has ridges inside to help secure the bottom plug. This is the plug that has one hole versus two Pass your chosen rope length through the Rope Ball. The cap assembly goes inside the smooth surface of the Rope Ball Thread one rope end through the bottom plug Wedge the second rope end into the bottom plug Then pull the longer rope and the second end will follow Even out the rope ends. Slide the bottom flat plug to the Rope Ball Make sure the rope is not twisted inside the Rope Ball. Push the bottom flat plug to secure it into place. The bottom plug goes into the Rope Ball end with the inside ridges. It may be difficult to push it in Gently bounce your Rope Ball on the ground to tighten the rope in the top plug and reduce slack Make sure the rope do not twist. Tie the bottom knot to secure the flat plug Ensure rope top is protected and does not extend past the top rope cap. The bottom knot will secure the bottom cap. Check all surfaces for damage before and after each use Care and Maintenance: When you first receive your Power Rope Ball the texture may feel slippery and appear shiny. This is the silicone mold release used during manufacturing. You may wash the silicone mold release off with dish soap and dry well with a towel. It may take several washings to completely remove any silicone. Once the silicone is removed the Power Rope Balls will not look shiny and will have a naturally tacky feel. Check your Power Rope Ball for any damage, including cracks or splits. Damaged items should not be used. Minor scuff marks are ok. Store your Power Rope Ball indoors and out of the elements, such as rain, extreme heat and cold and sunlight exposure. Do not store your items in contact with water, oils or solvents. Check the rope caps for splits, tears and any other signs of damage. The caps should have a secure fit into the ball. With continued use, periodically take the top rope cap out of the top of the ball and inspect all surfaces. Pull the rope out of the top cap and inspect the inner core for solid construction. A damaged top cap should not be used. Check the bottom rope cap for a secure fit into the bottom of the ball. Check the rope for any signs of abrasion due to excessive friction, glazing or melting of the fibers giving it a hard glassy surface, any increase or decrease in rope diameter, discoloration from exposure to chemicals, loss of flexibility, core fiber exposure or kinking/ twisting of the rope. These are signs of excessive abrasion, heat wear, broken fibers or exposure to outside agents. These conditions will weaken rope and can cause serious injury. Check all knots for a tight and secure fit. The knot at the bottom of the rope should have enough space to avoid coming loose. With continued use we suggest replacing the rope and caps on a yearly basis. ROPE LENGTHS Getting The Most of Our Superior Rebound: Our Power Rope Balls rebound unlike any other and creates tremendous reaction energy. The harder you slam against the wall the greater the fast rebound and eccentric muscle control with shoulder stability needed. To properly bounce against the wall you need full range of motion and to get your hand inches from the wall. Limited range prevents the middle of the ball from hitting the wall and a direct opposite rebound vs hitting the top of the ball. Get The Right Rope Length For Your Needs and Skill Level: The longer the rope the farther the weight is from your body. This creates greater force on your joints and can be difficult to control for beginners. A shorter rope may be a better starting point for beginners and those learning shoulder control. Longer ropes give you the ability to slam the Rope Balls on the ground and have more body clearance on the rebound. How To Measure: A general rule is to have the rope end at the inside of your elbow crease. This allows you to have ground clearance if doing big shoulder swings. You will have enough rope length for extra grip knots and hand wraps. Measure from the ground to the inside of your elbow. Advanced users may want a longer rope for added hand wraps or behind the back swings.
