I want to buy some graf skates I have 5 bills to use for them. I have been using bauer all my life but want a change of pace, so far I'm leaning towards the 735's, but one of my friends said I should get the G3's. also i have narrow feet so the store clerk said the 703's but those look a little plain for me so I dunno any help!!

It really depends on your foot shape and skating ability. I have a pair of 705's and love them! I would go to a skate shop and get fitted professionally...
Typically the 703 or 704 (if you can find them) are a great choice for a narrow, low volume foot. The 705's are better for a wider, higher volume foot. G-series (G-3, G-5 etc) are basically the same boot type but with a lighter "graphite" construction...they are light but are less durable. Not to say they will break down as fast as a Vapor series skate will but do not the have the life expectency of the 7 series...that's the trade off for light weight.
Either way, you won't be disappointed. If you end up with cash left over, you might consider changing the holders...it's a matter of personal choice, but I have heard good and bad things about the Cobra holder...if you're used to Tuuks, you might have a pair mounted on your new Grafs. Bottom line is GET FITTED PROFESSIONALLY! Enjoy!

The 703's are old school, but they're great skates. In fact, the Graf reputation was built on 703.

Maybe u shouldnt go with graf, look a ccm vector on hockeymonkey.com and you can get really good skates for as much as 200 dollars off the original price, trust me i did that and it worked.
