We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.
Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.

Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Pro Orange w/ RIP+ Driver & Fairway Shaft
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Pro Orange with RIP+ is a counterbalanced driver and fairway shaft built for more speed with a smooth, stable feel. Orange has always meant counterbalanced in the Tensei lineup, and this new version is the first to pair that with a smooth, seamless bend profile. Instead of tungsten powder in the handle, Mitsubishi builds the counterbalance right into the carbon layup, then adds RIP+ tip technology and boron to cut twisting at impact. The result is a mid launch, lower spin flight with a straighter start line. Made for moderate tempos, and a great match for longer builds or heavier heads, in 50g to 90g with R, S, and X flex.
Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Want more clubhead speed without dropping to a lighter, looser shaft
- Play a longer driver build or a heavier driver head
- Have a moderate tempo and want a smooth, connected feel
- Want a mid launch with lower spin and a more neutral start line
- Liked the idea of counterbalanced shafts but found older ones too stiff or harsh
- Want a premium Tensei Pro shaft with the latest Mitsubishi tech
Not the right fit if you...
- Like to feel the clubhead heavy at the top: counterbalancing takes some of that away
- Want the lowest, most boring flight possible: this one is mid launch
- Have a very quick, aggressive transition and want a stiffer, more tip-firm profile
- Prefer a traditional balance point: a non-counterbalanced Tensei Pro may suit you better
How It Plays
Counterbalancing puts more weight up toward the handle. That lowers swing weight and frees up the tip section to be more active through impact, which helps you swing faster and square the face more easily. It's also why counterbalanced shafts pair so well with longer drivers and heavier heads: you get the speed of the extra length or mass without the club feeling too heavy.
What's new here is how Mitsubishi does it. Older Orange profiles used tungsten powder in the handle. This version builds the counterbalance into the mandrel and carbon layup instead, which lets the shaft bend in a smooth, seamless profile: firm+ butt, medium+ mid, and medium tip. You still get the speed benefit, but the shaft loads and unloads more evenly, so it feels smoother and more responsive.
Down low, RIP+ (Reverse Interlaminar Placement Plus) adds an ultra-thin, ultra-light carbon layer in the tip, where the shaft twists the most during the swing. Combined with boron fiber and 1K Cloth moved closer to the tip, it cuts torque and keeps the face stable without making the shaft feel boardy. That's where the straighter start line and lower spin come from.
