Counterbalanced Dark Waves Red: weight under the hands to free up head speed
Mitsubishi Chemical · Wood ShaftsKai'li Dark Waves Red CB is the counterbalanced version of the higher-launching Dark Waves Red. Extra material in the handle adds stability and weight under the hands so the club head can move faster. It shares the family's MR70 and Super Low Resin Content Prepreg construction and comes in light 40, 50 and 60 classes from 44 to 64.5 grams with a low kick point.

Why golfers choose it
Shifting material toward the handle steadies the shaft and puts weight under the hands, helping players swing the head faster.
A medium butt and mid with a softer tip and low kick point produce mid-plus launch on Mitsubishi's chart.
Weights start at 44 grams in R3, making it the lightest Kai'li option in this group with torque from 4.5 to 7.8.
