Graf G35 vs. Vapor XXV

[Wilso09 0]

Hey guys, I just got a pair of Bauer Vapor XXV skates for pretty cheap. (Didn't really need them, but couldn't pass on the deal... :Phaha )

Anyways, I've been on the Graf G35's for the past few years and I'm expecting quite a diffrent skate from the Vapors.

So, before I go and skate on them my first time, just wanted a little heads-up on how diffrent these skates are from each other.

If your G35s are on Cobra holders and haven't been profiled expect to be quite a bit more on your heels with the XXVs. The LS holders aren't nearly as bad (bad is relative) as the TUUK C and C+ holders in this regard but you'll definitely feel it. It can be solved by profiling at your LHS or by adding a 3mm or so heel lift.

Oh, I have the LS2's put on the G35's within the last year, so I'm fairly use to the blade/holders, more interested in the diffrences between the boot. I know the the heal in on the G35's are narrower then the Vapors.

Thanks for the chart, I always did wonder about all the diffrent models of grafs. :)
