What is a fat shaft iron shaft?

Fat Golf Shaft Technology

Fat golf shafts perform better for most people for no other reason than the fact that they have less torque. Torque is the amount of twist that a shaft has, usually measured in degrees. Because of the larger diameter, it is much harder to twist a fat shaft than a standard diameter shaft. Standard shafts usually have a tip diameter of about .355 and a butt diameter of .600. Fat shafts usually have a tip diameter in the .535 range with the butt tapering to .600.
