PERFORMANCE GOLF SHAFT SERIES
THE NEXT GENERATION HAS ARRIVED
THE DARK WAVES EDITION HAS ARRIVED
NEW FOR 2025 — Kai’li, the acclaimed performance golf shaft series first introduced by Mitsubishi Chemical in 2021, is back with an all new edition for 2025: Dark Waves . Featuring a bold, fresh cosmetic and a brand-new counterbalanced mid-launch profile, the Kai’li Dark Waves Series is built to deliver deep power off the tee for today’s modern, athletic golfer.
WHITE // LOW LAUNCH + BLUE // MID + COUNTERBALANCED + RED // HIGH LAUNCH
Kai’li™ White is a low-launch, low-spin shaft that performs like white profile and feels like a blue due to taper butt design and higher carbon fiber ratio in the torque core.
Kai’li™ Blue CB is ideal for players looking for a mid-launch, counter-balanced shaft that retains the stability demanded by stronger swings and heavier head weights.
Kai’li™ Blue also features a taper-butt design and offers the same active feel in the hands as Kai’li Whiite with slightly higher launch than Kai’li Dark Waves Blue CB.
Kai’li™ Red was designed with a softer tip flex and higher balance point than its siblings, providing more launch and spin, but with the same low torque to retain stability.

WHITE // LOW LAUNCH + LOW TORQUE
Having already suppported multiple wins on tour, Kai’li™ White features an exclusive Super Low Resin Content Prepreg in the most consequential part of the golf shaft for feel: the torque core. This application allows for an increased volume of carbon fiber to help drive torque lower, increase stability, and provide greater frequency response to the golfer’s hands... even in a low launch shaft.
BLUE // MID LAUNCH + COUNTERBALANCED
The Kai’li™ Dark Waves Blue CB moves additional material towards the handle side to increase stability and weight under the hands to allow the club head to move faster. Built on the same tech platform as the rest of the Kai’li family, Blue CB provides a unique mid-launching profile for the to suit the modern golfer looking to maximize the speed of advanced clubhead designs.

BLUE // MID LAUNCH
Responsive and explosive, with a low torque value similar to Kai’li™ White, Kai’li™ Dark Waves Blue offers an active feel in the hands and slightly higher launch and spin than it’s counterbalanced counterpart, Blue CB, giving players another distinct playability option. Kai’li™ Blue is ideal for players moving from a low to mid-launch shaft without foregoing the benefits of lower torque.
RED // HIGH LAUNCH
Kai’li Dark Waves Red is a higher spinning, MID + launching shaft that manages to retain super low torque performance relative to its White and Blue counterparts through use of MR70 and Super Low Resin Content Prepreg. With a softer tip flex and a slightly higher balance point, Kai’li Red offers a distinctly different launch and spin profile for golfers seeking the right shaft for their swing.
