Which material are the handles of a skipping rope made from?

Aluminium is the key material used to manufacture the handles of a skipping rope. They are built via the Computer Numerical Control (CNC). 

For durability and light-weight, aluminium is chosen over other materials. A superior handle bears all these features that make it stand out from the other handles. 

For a better grip, handle covers or handle grooves should be there. Rubber/silicon are used to craft the handle covers.

Beaded Ropes

Shatter-resistant plastic is used to produce these ropes. While nylon is used to make the string, PVC crafts the beads.
