Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Want more launch than the Dark Waves Blue or White
- Want an active tip that helps carry height
- Like a low-torque, stable feel
- Fit anywhere from a light 50 series R2 to a 70 X
Not the right fit if you...
- Already hit the ball too high
- Want a firm tip and low spin (see the Dark Waves White)
- Need TX flex (we build R2 to X)
- Want a stiff handle
How It Plays
Mitsubishi rates the Dark Waves Red high launch and mid spin, with a medium butt, medium mid and soft tip and a low kick point. Mitsubishi says it has the softest tip and the most launch and spin of all the Kai'li profiles.
It uses MR70 carbon for strength and Super Low Resin Content prepreg in the torque core for a smooth feel, and Mitsubishi gives it a slightly higher balance point than its siblings. Weights run from 52 g (50 R2) to 72 g (70 X), with torque from 6.2 down to 3.9.
