We've spent the last 18 months using every rope in this video. We've sacrificed our WOD times to make sure we got the right feel for each rope. What's the final consensus? Well, it's complicated.
Why? Because the best rope is going to be based a lot on your personal preferences. Things like handle length, weight and cable type all play into the final rope that you end up smashing your double unders with.
Here's a quick rundown of the best ropes for each skill level (with Amazon links)

When it comes to choosing the right rope, you need to consider things like the handle length, handle weight, cable weight, cable adjustability, and bearing/bushing speed. These features on the rope will determine how quickly you'll be able to skip.
To come with up with our recommendations, we ended up measure and weight all the products that we used and spent too much time skipping with them.
