hey, i play beer league TWICE a week 😁 but i wear $700 off the shelf skates i picked up for $300. can't justify spending a grand on skates for beer league -
always a Graf guy too. 703/704. just got a pair of made in Switzerland F60s for $300 shipped off Fruugo after reading that they were the 703/704 successor and they've been great so far
-
yeah i'm really interested in the process of getting custom Grafs made. also price.

my current skates are about 200grams lighter than my old skates and its a night and day difference. especially with overall leg fatigue throughout a game -
thanks. though they're obviously not original haha
-
back to back league champs. i scored 6 goals and a few assists in the last 3 games

i used the secondary shims that came with my powerfeet to snug up my glove liners. really got my money's worth -

Putting larger holders on skates (?)
asgoodasdead replied to bogeywhite's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
itll work but you'll need to add a few extra or the rivets will pull out after a while since the cobras are only drilled out for 4 front 4 back because the graf screw system is much stronger and more durable than rivets -

i skated on 288 holders for 17 years and recently got new skates with 280 holders(sharpened the exact same way) and there was definitely a noticeable difference/adjustment -

the Step website explains the differences. -

I used to think the exact same thing. after switching to lighter skates I couldn't believe the difference in footspeed, but more importantly leg fatigue throughout the game. should also mention that my new skates are much stiffer though which also helps -

yeah superfeet have that hard plastic arch. it softens up after a few skates, but i'd go with an insole with a lower instep or softer arch for sure. -

shouldn't be too hard or expensive to replace the broken rivet -
I think it'll work better than last summer since they're overhauling the defense. trust the Gorton fisherman.
-
why? they haven't won a cup since 94. gotta do something. need to get rid of AV and Arniel, though
-
it's not really a rebuild, but more of a retool like they did last summer
-
identical caphit, but Saad is locked in for another 4 years and Panarin hits UFA in a year or 2 so this is longterm cap savings for the Hawks
-
i love stepan and raanta, but this trade is a homerun by Gorton.

$699 would probably be for off the shelf. but if they keep selling direct-only and not through retailers, that cuts the price down quite a bit since there's no middle man wetting it's beak -
