Thai Jump Rope

Does anybody know where I can find 10' thai styled jump rope with the plastic handles?

I found a 9' version at rogue fitness http://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-th...-jump-rope.php

Gorilla gear has 10' but with wooden handles http://www.gorillagear.ca/trainingeq...t/ThaiJumpRope

Sanguineshoppe is the only place I found, however, I do not know if the company produces quality equipment http://www.sanguineshoppe.com/Boxers...s-p/ctr001.htm

Windy makes a rope that is longer than the Twins.

Top King is also long, it has the weird handles.

How tall are you? I'm 6ft and use a 9ft rope.

6'3, do you think the nine foot one will work?

Purchased a thai rope without really thinking about it, and being similar height its a pain in the ass. With all the ropes you listed under 15 bucks what do you have to lose. Im thinking of picking up one of them, ill let you know if you want to wait

The shipping is crazy for two of the companies and I am buying about five for a gym so I want to make sure they are quality.

I got emails from fairtex and twins and they will not make customs ropes

I think youd be okay with the one from rogue, I did the dimensions on the one I have and its barely to short, and this has another 11 inches with handles.

I think I found a place in the US to get 10' "thai styled" jump ropes. I ordered the XL-1.25lb rope because your typical 8' thai rope is ~1lb. I will do a quick review and comparison to the Fairtex thai rope when it arrives next week.
