I disagree. I think that whether you're a beginner or not, you can use whichever cube you choose. I used a rubik's store bought for about a month when I was learning to solve and up until when I transitioned to cfop. Even though I got lucky with a decent store bought, it was still hard to use finger tricks when solving. Once I got a speedcube, it was so much easier to turn and easier on my hands (which would get sore if I cubed too much) and I was in the habit of using really wristy turns. I actually think if someone is interested in speedcubing ultimately, they should get a speedcube early on and start off with the habit of using their fingers to turn.Beginners shouldn't use good cubes.
You shouldn't learn OLL until you're close to sub-20.
