I’m prototyping a rope with adjustable handle mass (20–40 g per side) and haptics that buzz on target cadence instead of beeping, and I’m trying to figure out what helps when you’re gassed mid-set. If you jump in a garage at 6 a.m. or a noisy gym, would a vibration pulse every 10 skips be useful, or is a small LED ring in the handle more intuitive?
garage at 6 a.m. or a noisy gym, would a vibration pulse every 10 skips be useful, Only when I’m fresh — mid-set I stop counting; a short haptic accent every 4 skips is way easier to lock onto than 10, and it beats an LED I won’t look at. With 20–40 g handles the buzz can get damped, so bump intensity on the accent and let us choose 2/4/8 grouping. Are you targeting about 150–180 SPM singles or double-unders, since the grouping should match that cadence.
Short answer from my side: I’m seeing the same pattern — one concrete thing that helped was writing down the exact handoff and timebox it to 15–20 min. Does that match what you’re running into?
And ditch the ‘every 10’ buzz; haptic only on ±5% cadence drift, @elliottB88… LED: one big flash at set end.
In dim “6 a.m.” garages, LEDs vanish; ramp haptic intensity with cadence drift instead, @elliottB88.
