However, the AL shaft is also 3" in diameter. That's pretty hard to wield. I speak from experience. The carbon fiber shafts are a bit thinner, at 2.75" in diameter, one-piece, and lighter than stock, making them the superior bludgeon.

Referring to this?

If I hit that same person with a 2800 lb car that had 1272176 joules stored in it,it would separate all their appendages, then fly through the person and knock down the building behind them.
