NEW GRAF G5 ULTRA

Recommended Posts

Just got them in, but only a few pair, but they are 599, same as One90's, Graf has always been "proud" of their product. boot cut looks simalir to g5, but tounge is way different, alot shorter and fatter.

Tell me more about the boot. The style of the boot cut looks very similar to the 727 model from the pictures.

its got a much better liner on it, it isnt supposed to take in as much water,also the holder is supposed to repel the moisture and the screws are now titanium not steel anymore

I have 704's and am due for a new pair. Not sure what to get. How are they like the one90's?

Does the lining appear to sacrifice comfort at all?

Thanks, I didn't realize the 599 was what he was referring to. In my neck of the woods one90's are 799 can. discounted from 899.

I saw them at the rink shop last weekend, and they're pretty sick. Besides being lighter than anything other than the One90, what I liked the most was the different tongue construction than most of Graf's other skates.

what i hate about them is the new tongue. its like an inch or two thick...similar to having a matress attached to your foot. i've seen the tongue on some of the new g-series, and i hate it. i wish they'd stick with the clasic felt tongue.

do these fit the same as 705's and the old G5's size wise?

Do they also have the same forward lean as the 705's?

Thanks

im finding they feet a little bit deeper in the ankle compared to the 705 and G5

Grafs are a good skate, the boot is excellent and the holder and blade are as well. If you don't mind the forward lean or the boot feel you really can't go wrong with Grafs. Some of the best qualitly skates on the market today, so I would give them a go but give yourself some time to adjust to them.

I might actually pick up a pair this weekend when I go up to Boston. Does anyone from the area know if Pure Hockey (Marlborogh) carries the Ultras?

The Braintree location is probably closer. I would email them to find out.

Not to change the subject but I have read on this site about a lot of people changing the tongue on their skates. Where do you get replacement tounges and who do you have do them for you?
