Graf Skates

[JonathanK]

I would like to know which skates are better, the graf 70 series (i.e. 703, 709, 735) or the G series (i.e. G3, G9, G35). also i would like to know what makes then better because the graf canada website doesn't really tell much. oh and what is the price difference between the two? i have some 709's and want to know the difference for my next pair of skates. thanks

Dunno much bout Grafs...but they all do fit a little differently from model to model is what I understand. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...but think that's how it works. So not all those you listed might work for you.

The G series is simply a lighter version. It has a carbon fiber construction that cuts a few grams off the weight.

SWC11, do you happen to work at Perani's, by chance? Just wondering.

Also, could you explain how graf models all fit different foot types? I understand that some models are for high arches, or wide feet, but I don't know which ones. And is it possible to get just the boot, so I can put TUUK bladeholders in them? I was thinking about getting some new Grafs soon, so your advice would be very helpful.

I've got the G3's, they are very comfy however I would also recommend changing the shark tooth blade for a solid one as mine has snapped on two seperate occasions.

I skate 705's old school look, simple yet very functional. The G series are nice and I will probablly step up to those in a few years.
