I like the trail back pole a LOT better.
the trail back shock are a too flexible for someone 6'1 180lba using 125cm setting; I don't know why.
their grip is more comfortable then the trail back grip, but it depends on whether you like rubber or foam.
I prefer the rubber.
the wrist strap are a >nightmare
