I personally recommend a nike jump rope . I know it only has 3 stars on amazon but they don't know what they are doing if they actually took time to READ they wouldn't have rated it low. Anyhow, they recommend you boil some water so it straightens out, if you've ever used a boil and bite mouth piece this is easy.
The rope is robust and the handles are super nice compared to any other rope, the action is fast and it doesn't feel cheap. I've had mine for 6 years.

Appreciate the input guys (and/or gals).
The boxing rope that was mentioned is more along the lines of a rope I used to use and ended up misplacing and while I've preferred light speedy ropes in the past I think I want to try one of the two thai style ropes mentioned.
Sounds as though the Rogue Fitness one is much heavier.
Ultimately performance trumps appearance of course so maybe I'm being idiotic.
buy an rx or a crossrope!!!!
I would avoid anything that golden boy says since he's a PROVEN liar......
