Graf Ultra G3....

[Mario123 2]

I've looked high and low. I can't find a pic of this damn skate anywhere.

[DamnLocust 0]

that's because they haven't been released yet. They'll look more or less like the G5 Ultras, but fit like 703s.

[Mario123 2]

I know that, but does anybody have a pic of them from a Graf catalogue?

[A2rhino 63]

What is this XP-3 Technology: Ultra light composite upper material XP-3 combines high protection and durability. It looks like it would scratch and wear very quickly. It looks pretty nasty as well. IMO.

[Mario123 2]

wow, if no one on modsquad has seen a pic of these puppies yet, they must be in top secret lock down. lol

[usahockey22 0]

Yep, it's a pretty big secret. They look just like the ultra G-5 and G-70, except for this sweet new logo that reads "G-3"...sorry, that's all I can say about it.

skated in a pair today they feel sweet and nice and light. the idea behind the different quarted panel is that where its raised is going to be stiffer and where its not raised it will be softer. Also the insole is a carbon fibre with there old insole surrounding it with the new outsole that released with the 735 non T-Blade edition. Big thing with these skates well the whole Ultra line is that retailers selling this skate who also buy into the footbed part will get in the box a pair of custom foot beds that can be shaped to your feet. Now as far as the comment about the scratching and wearing very quickly, Graf is using a whole new heel counter on this skate and the whole line itself, now the side may scratch but it will not to anything serious to the integrity of the boot and if it does get a cut just get some craz glue and toe pro.

Can you elaborate more on this? I was thinking of ordering online (due to LHS not being able to get any pairs) but didnt know anything about custom footbeds included. Do you need assistance from someone that is supposed to know what their doing or are there instructions included?

Had heard 735 will be replaced with G35 ULTRA.

Thanks for the info. I take it your a Graf rep. How about a picture of the skate for us Graf fans?

The footbed itself yes is done at a shop who was asked by graf if they are interested in using that simpson. Now not all the graf dealers will have the machinery so if you did buy it online the skates theres no guarantee that the store you buy it from are going to be one of the retailers who was provided the opportunity to bring in those footbeds

Is Avery wearing them?

I know he wore the 703's and G3's previously

[fultonreed 1]

Looks like the Tuuk Lightspeed

[nicksmission14 0]

Good Find Grazstorm, I noticed it slightly on TV yesterday but couldn't tell. I'd have to guess they are G3 Ultras because like you said Avery skated in G3's before.

For those that have tried the Ultra G3, did you find the new tongue a benefit or detriment?

Is the Ultra G3 available in retail?

[cbart 1]

Graf Ultras

Scroll down when you get there, you'll see the G3,5, and 70 ultra's with pics

[flip12 723]

Those look sick, but I like it.

[cause4alarm 7]

What separates the Ultra line from the rest?

[DamnLocust 0]

materials. 7xx series is traditional boot construction (leather, etc.) where the ultras are newer, lighter, stiffer materials.

[NTKT10 0]

yeah, sure looks like it

Anybody notice in the second picture Avery has the TUUK holders mounted using only the original Cobra mounting holes? Just something I noticed, not that it should make a difference.
