Fast Back Ropes Re-Masters the Iron Silk Calf Rope

Granbury, TX- Now available in stores, the newly re-mastered Iron Silk Calf Rope offers great feel, extreme durability and maximum options for all ropers.

The Double Extra Soft (XXS) lay has been added for people who prefer a softer feel with enough body.  This gives 7 more options in this amazingly tough rope. With the Soft (S), Extra Soft (XS) and now Double Extra Soft (XXS) lays all available in 9.0mm to 11.0 mm, there is a rope for everyone.

“This rope remains consistent and lasts a long time with no maintenance”, says champion calf roper Jerome Schneeberger, who has been one of the professional calf ropers working with Fast Back GM and rope maker, Al Benson.  “People wonder why I don’t carry a rope can at ropings now, this rope is low maintenance- I love it!”

Historically, Fast Back Ropes has specialized in the finest quality, consistent and durable team rope.  Al Benson has been gathering feedback from calf ropers, steer ropers and break away ropers to design and build a calf rope that suits needs of ropers today. 

“Too often calf ropers cater to their rope”, says Benson, “A roper’s rope should be one piece of the equation that a roper can depend on. With so many variables in a run (calf, horse, weather, ground, timing, etc.) the peace of mind that a consistent, great feeling rope brings is priceless”.

Fast Back Ropes are hand made individually in Granbury, TX by legendary rope makers Al Benson and Curt Matthews. Known for their high quality and consistent feel, Fast Back Ropes are used by World Champions Speed Williams, Clay Tryan, Patrick Smith, Steve Purcella, David Motes, and others who are winning at all levels worldwide.
