Lightspeeds on Grafs

[s Greens 0]

Hey all

I am considering getting new holders on my Grafs (703) because the blade on the stock ones are almost gone :( . Instead of getting replacement steel for the current holder....i was considering puttin in TUUK Lightspeeds. Has anyone used or know of someone who has used lightspeeds on any graf skates? Ive never skated on TUUKs before so will there be a big "feel" difference on the ice?

Thanks

Scotttty :D

One of the guys I play with bought a pair of Grafs (not sure which model) but didn't like the stock holders.

He had a set of Lightspeeds put on and likes the feel of them much better now.

I can also see that he's skating better.

I had them on 705s and didn't care for them, but that's just how I feel about them on any skate.

I think it's personal preference. If you break the steel, it's easier to fix with Cobra's, rather than taking the holder off with TUUK's. Just make sure you don't get the perforrated steel if you get TUUK's.

i think that its the bad batch of steel they put out ?

a guy on my team has lightspeeds on his grafs and he loves the difference they made for him. sorry i dont have more info than that ill ask for details at our gaem tomrrow morning

He meant PERFORATED steel, which is the steel with holes in them (what comes on Vapor XX/V12)

I got a 2 pairs of graf 703's and on both I have lightspeeds. I couldn't be happier.

perforrated steel is the steel that has the cut outs. They have it on the vapor xx's. Avoid getting that though, because as it has been mentioned many times before, it breaks easier then regular steel.

i have the 703 lightspeed set up and couldnt be happier my favorite pair of skates yet and thats over a pair of 703's with cobras and 735's with t-blades so ive used quite a few holders besides those also.

My friend switched from Cobras to Lightspeeds, and he became a better skater. Or else it looked so.

My new 703s are in the process of having lighspeeds put on them. And yes, the self-proclaimed skate whore strikes again.

What happened to the 8090s being perfect?

[Eazy_b97 1]

I'm a big fan of my 609/Lightspeed Combo. I feel alot more solid on my skates than I did with the T'blades. I believe its because I am not so forwardly pitched.

What happened to the 8090s being perfect?

they opened up, and now my feet slide around inside the boot. The 703s were a "gift."

Do you mean once they broke in, they were too big width wise?

[Cavs019 702]

exactly

[JGraz15 53]

well that sucks...let me know how you like you 703's. Ever skate in Graf before?

[Cavs019 702]

i had 705s, wasnt crazy about them but i skate with a much deeper knee bend now compared to when i last had grafs.
