5 Reasons You're Not Getting Consistent Double Unders | Rx Smart Gear Australia

Check the following:
1. Are you jumping high enough?
2. Are you jumping when the cable is above you or down by your feet?
3. Are your arms wide? Wide arms, encouraged by using a cable that is too long, shorten the cable at your feet. This produces a scenario where you think the cable is too short, so you get a longer cable which pushes your arms wider.
4. Are you rushing? This usually means you’re using a cable that is too light, you’re not jumping high enough or both. We wouldn’t ask you to snatch 100kg as a beginner. Double unders are no different.
5. Are you using a lightweight cable? In addition to point 4, you can’t feel therefore control a lightweight cable. Get a heavy cable like our Buff cable weight which helps you CONTROL the turn, rather than just keeping up. The only way a lightweight cable can get adequate tension is by increasing the velocity of the turn. Speed kills beginners double unders.
