I've never seen one that low.

The Inno Fedorov was slightly lower(4.5-ish), I assume the Warrior model is/will be as well. Sher-wood Leclair was also sub-5 last time I checked.

That's the biggest problem in measuring lies. I don't know how many people I've seen say that a Lindros is a 5 lie, yet it is far more upright than a Modano when the shafts or blades are directly compared.

How do you calculate lie...if you had a stick adn didn't know the lie...and didn't have a lie detector (which may not tell the truth *ha!*). Me? Trial and error. My preference is a 5-ish lie with a slight rocker as I tend to get on top of the puck a little more when I really want to put some extra "oomph" on my shots. I don't mean pick the best lie for you...I mean actually tell what lie a stick is? Compare them to something with a lie that you already know. Depending on how you measure the lie, you can get different readings. I think the most accurate way is to line up the toe and heel of the blades and compare the hosel/shaft angles. Unless the blade has a huge rocker or a really shaved toe it's a good way to determine how it's going to play.

I beg to differ.

The lie detectors are wildly inaccurate, at least for myself and my customers who used it.

Not as far as my wife knows. ;) If the Grafs were snug, you may have an issue. If you had a little wiggle room you should be ok.

I'm no expert on Grafs though, I only play one on the internet. Depending on how the Grafs fit you, the Kors may fit or may be slightly too small.

5.5 if I remember correctly.

I did bake mine and it didn't have much of an impact.

The one pictured is the only one I have. I'll see if I can get a pic of the toe for you, but it's not rounded off much at all.

I'm only saying that they didn't fit like my S500s, you might be ok coming from Eastons. You should try them on before you buy them though.

I was a little disappointed coming from the Mission S series. Coming from those Eastons, they might work for you. The heels are too wide and the ankle is too deep for me, despite the fact that I have a thick, wide foot. Try them on and make sure they fit properly, a lot of people aren't going to be able to wear them comfortably.

Some shops already have them. I've been skating in the AG110 for a few months now, what would you like to know?

Isn't 11 and 12 identical excepting the length of the blade??(going by what is said in the catalogue) Because a recchi isnt as open as a sakic. Not with the ones I have. 11(Evolution OPS) is a little more mild than a Sakic in curve and loft 12 (Precision OPS)is more like a Tucker or P106 I just got an Evolution with a 12 curve and it's a much smaller curve than the one on the Precision. Probably most similar to a P27.

Maybe because everything above the 800 is a molded composite and not made like a traditional skate?

2004 is probably more similar to the 5030. Last I heard they had a bunch of leftover inventory in the legend shoulders, if you can find a DR dealer they should be able to get them for you. The 2004 is a creamy-off white color and the 2005 is white. The 05 is also cut much wider around the collar.

Yes, two different versions. The 2004 model is a little better pad than the 2005 model in my opinion but the 2005 looks nicer.

The 05 legend is cut very differently from the 04 and the 5030. It rides much lower at the shoulder and a lot of the people who tried it in the shop didn't like the 05 as much.

PM Go Pio's, he can check on the status for you.

Heavier than both of them, the XP is the lighter skate and most similar to the other two in terms of design.

Never seen that one, it's new.

Pretty good on durability, about average on feel.

what skates are you in now and what kind of arch do you have?
