it sounds like your looking at the velocity 7400,not the higher model pro version which is the 7500. if you're on the ice 5 times a week and need a durable pad,id go with the x-wing,just because it's more durable than the 7400 v3.but,you also have to consider the style you play,the fit of the pad,and how that certain pad would fit your style.so,in the end,there's a lot of things to consider.
