I'm in a pair of Graf Ultra G5s, the one's with the white trim, but I'm considering new skates since they're pretty beat up. I'm trying to figure out what is comparable to the Graf's I'm wearing now.
I'm looking at CCM U+ CLs, Reebok 20Ks, and Bauer APXs but haven't pulled the trigger since I don't have enough info yet. I have high arches and I'd like something with a stiffer ankle. I'm debating G75s as well but I might like to try something that isn't Graf.

If Graf skates fit you well stay with Graf. Dont just go to the 20K, APX, etc just to have the popular skates out now. A better fitting skate will perform better then a crappy fitting skate.

Go to the store and get fitted.
I tried 11k's, as long as the 20k's fit the same I could be good there. Also tried the X 5.0's tried those as well and the fit wasn't as nice. The reason I'm considering moving away from Graf is because I'm looking for something with a little more stiffness in the boot.

Go get fitted, as has already been said. If you like Graf, why not wait for the 9035s to come out? The 20k won't feel the same as the 11ks as they have tightened the heel up a little more. 20k's fit like APX's to me, narrow heel and wider toe box.
If you really want stiff, wait for the 9035s and get them in a 105 flex.

Didn't know about the 9035s, I'll wait and see with those. Thanks for the advice, any word when they're going to be released in '13?

Haven't heard an exact release date on them, was hearing spring for a while so maybe April to compete with the APX2 launch?

NHL teams could care less that you want a pair of brand new Warrior Luxe/Franchise custom thumb loop super custom digi toilet paper soft palm with double added reinforced custom Warrior logo backhand padding gloves or a 17 flex double kreps curve upside down toe hook stick from your fav player/team. -Bakes
