AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Tierney has a mid kick point that loads energy mid-shaft for a stronger, more direct shot release, while the McLeod drops the kick point lower for a whippier feel and easier loading. Both are 90 flex pro-spec builds at the same price, so your choice really comes down to whether you want that mid-kick power or prefer a more flexible, whip-action blade.
