yea. you need to google pics of the rods then it should be pretty obvious..

a-beam rods are light weight for reduced rotating mass, mostly used in all motor apps where revving faster is needed and ultimate power production isnt the goal.

h-beam are pretty much the standard rod everyone uses, cheap(ish) and support decent power goals... pretty durable.

x-beam are for all out power nuts whose motors will see extreme abuse, pauter features x-beam rods exclusively iirc. not cheap compared to the other options.

There are also I-beam rods like Manley's Turbo Tuff rods among others.
