DEEP POWER
DEEP POWER FOR THE MODERN GOLFER Kai’li, a single word from two — “Kai” meaning ocean, “Li” energy — meant to embody the immense power and mystery of the ocean. As more than 85% of the ocean remains undiscovered, any shaft launched under the Kai’li name is representative of another discovery in shaft innovation. The same way much of the ocean remains undiscovered, so too does shaft technology and innovation.

spin driver shaft. Designed to keep torque low under the demands of today’s highvelocity swings, Kai’li White features an extremely strong MR70-reinforced tip to promote consistent center-face impact and tighter dispersion. Additionally, a taper

butt design – the first in a Mitsubishi Chemical low-launch profile – along with Super Low Resin Content (S.L.R.C.) Prepreg and increased carbon fiber ratio in the torque core produce a smooth, responsive feel in the hands not often associated with low launch profiles.

BLUE PROFILE // MID L AUNCH + MID SPIN
MID LAUNCH. LOW TORQUE. DEEP POWER. Kai’li™ Blue proves that intimidating power comes in more than one form. With a low
MR70 CARBON FIBER
torque value similar to Kai’li™ White, the taper butt design of Kai’li™ Blue offers an active feel in the hands and higher launch and spin than Kai’li™ White – giving players two extraordinary-feeling Kai’li profiles that produce different launch and spin conditions.
<20 LOW RESIN TORQUE CORE
Kai’li™ shafts utilize Mitsubishi Chemical’s Super Low Resin Content (S.L.R.C.) Prepreg and an MR70-reinforced tip, which combine to make Kai’li™ Blue our stablest and smoothest blue profile yet.

10 consecutive swings, listed above as relative spin.
It all starts with a shaft that can deliver consistent centerface club face strikes, despite the incredible amount of force and load applied to the shaft by today’s more athletic golfer.
As part of our MLAB program, the ZR/0 Initiative aims to set the industry standard for lower deviation in all aspects of shaft performance.

KAI’LI BLUE // MID 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.
More responsive and explosive, with a low torque value similar to Kai’li™ White, Kai’li™ Blue offers an active feel in the hands and higher launch and spin than Kai’li White, giving players two distinct Kai’li playability options. Indeed, Kai’li™ Blue is ideal for players moving from a low to mid-launch shaft
