Abstract
Jump rope devices which allow for the quick and easy interchanging of a cable of varying weight and length from handles configured to provide smooth rotation of such cables at both low and high speeds are disclosed. Devices in accordance with the disclosure may comprise a ball bearing assembly configured to facilitate 360-degree rotation of the cable. In an aspect, the handle of such jump rope devices is comprised of a ball bearing portion which enables both speed of rotational movement for a plurality of relatively lighter cables, and strength and durability for a plurality of relatively heavier cables. Handles may further comprise a snap hook assembly configured to facilitate rapid interchanging of cables.
