ARP Head Stud Question

[JSHeinrich]

There are 2 types of the head studs. There is the standard and the the undercut. Could anyone explain what the undercut is??

UC's are Undercut shanks on the studs so they "stretch" the correct amount.
(Smaller diameter on the unthreaded portion)

I read this on a previous post but it didn't fully understand what it meant.

They are not shorter in length correct? They are simply just thinner in the middle section that isn't threaded? They are cheaper, are they not as good? Sorry to be a noob
