More height
The softest tip of the Kai'li profiles and a low kick point help players who struggle to get the ball airborne.
The highest-launching Dark Waves profile, with stable torque
Mitsubishi Chemical · Wood ShaftsKai'li Dark Waves Red is the launch-friendly member of the Dark Waves family. A softer tip, a low kick point and a slightly higher balance point give it more launch and spin than the White and Blue versions, while MR70 and Super Low Resin Content prepreg keep torque behavior comparable. It is typically offered through TaylorMade as a stock or custom option.

Why golfers choose it
The softest tip of the Kai'li profiles and a low kick point help players who struggle to get the ball airborne.
Torque stays competitive with the lower-launching Kai'li models, so the extra height comes without a loose feel.
Weights run 52 to 72 grams, including a 50 R2 for slower swings.
