(Assembled) Mitsubishi Kai'li Dark Waves Blue Driver Shaft with...
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Mitsubishi Kai'li Dark Waves Blue is a mid-launch, mid-spin driver shaft with a classic Mitsubishi Blue profile: medium stiffness in the butt, mid and tip. A taper butt handle gives it an active, smooth feel, and MR70 reinforces the tip. We sell the 50, 60 and 70 series in R, S and X flex. It arrives assembled with your choice of adapter and grip, ready to attach to your driver or fairway wood head.

Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Want a mid launch and mid spin
- Like an even, smooth bend profile with no stiff section
- Like an active feel in the hands from a taper butt handle
- Swing about 81 mph or faster: Mitsubishi fits R from 81 mph, S from 85 mph, and X above 106 mph
Not the right fit if you...
- Swing under 80 mph: Mitsubishi doesn't recommend a Dark Waves Blue flex below that speed
- Want less launch and spin: the Kai'li Dark Waves White is rated low launch, low spin
- Need TX flex: it is made in R, S and X only
How It Plays
Mitsubishi rates the Dark Waves Blue mid launch, mid spin, with a flex profile of medium butt, medium mid and medium tip and a high kick point. The even stiffness from handle to tip gives it a smooth, predictable load.
The taper butt handle gives it the same active feel in the hands as the Dark Waves White, and Mitsubishi says it launches and spins slightly higher than the White. Super Low Resin Content prepreg in the torque core adds a smooth feel, and an MR70-reinforced tip keeps it stable for stronger swings.
Mitsubishi describes it as a modern, mid-launching, mid-spinning shaft built to give stronger swings the stability they need.
