AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Daddanov has a mid kick point for a harder, more direct shot release, while the McLeod drops to low kick for faster loading and snap. The McLeod is also 5 flex points softer (90 vs 85), making it noticeably more forgiving on shots if you're not swinging at max strength, though both are still pro-spec builds meant for stronger players.
