How can I choose a suitable rope? Here are some guidelines:
| Length of rope | Height | Handle color |
| 8 feet | 149-160 cm | Light blue |
| 9 feet | 161-180 cm | Purple |
| 10 feet | >181cm | Dark blue |
| 14 feet | Double dutch | Yellow |
| 24 feet | Long rope | Pink |
| 36 feet | Long rope | Green |
