Changing Holders on the G5's

[bbruins8 0]

Well after doing some searching for the past hour and reading multiple threads, I figured I'd start one of my own. I really don't like the extremely aggressive forward pitch on the Cobra 5000 holders that came with the Ultra G5's. I ordered some T blades at my LHS, but I doubt they are ever going to come in because they ship out of Graf HQ so I will probably be coming into some store credit to order some different holders. I skated in Custom+ before these and am pondering a switch to those, but I am open to recommendations. I have a few questions:

The T blades ordered were 280 mm for a 9.5 Graf boot, so should I order all other holders in 280 as well?

I have heard the LS/LS2 have a forward pitch as well, is it as extreme as the Cobras? If not, how is it in comparison?

I hear many good things about Pitch holders...how hard is the pitch to adjust? How heavy are they in comparison to Custom+/Lightspeeds? What Pitch options will it give me?

How good is the steel and how long does it hold an edge on the LS2 and Pitch holders? (I know how the steel is on the Customs because I have them)

As always, thanks for your help gentleman, and ladies if it applies ;) .

Have to stick with the same size holder.

No, Cobra has more lean

Very easy to adjust PITCH. Heavier than the Tuuks but lighter than Cobra. You get 1/32" in both directions and neutral

PITCH = best steel on the market

So 1/32" heel raise would be more towards Cobra, neutral would be like a custom+, and 1/32" lowered would be opposite direction correct? Are they adjustable quickly? I'd like to adjust them at a skate and shoot or something to figure out which one I like the best, but which one (on a Graf boot) is most like the Custom+

You got it wrong. 1/32heel feels like your on custom+ while neutral feels like ccm/RBk E-pro/lightspeed 2. 1/32 forward lean would feels like the cobra holder but not exact. It is very easy to adjust the steel with the square tip screw driver or whatever its called

Alright so where can I buy these? My LHS doesn't carry Mission stuff so I will probably have to buy them offline...I really haven't been able to find any websites with them, hockeygiant is the only one I have found and they are out.

Would new holes need to be drilled on Grafs to install Pitch holders?

Does anybody know the weight difference between the Custom+ and the Pitch3 holders?

J.R. were you referring to the LS holders weighing less than the Pitch's or both the LS2 and the Customs?
