Description

The Mitsubishi TENSEI 1K Red (2026) is the high-launch, easy-elevation member of the TENSEI 1K wood family. Designed for smoother tempos and moderate swing speeds, it helps you get the ball up and carrying farther without giving up stability through impact. If your miss is low or you want a lighter, livelier shaft that flights the ball higher, the Red is the one to build around.

1K Carbon Cloth
The premium 1K weave — a tight carbon fabric woven from 1,000-filament tows — is repositioned toward the tip to reduce shaft twisting. Even with an active, launch-friendly tip section, that reinforcement keeps the head stable so higher flight doesn’t come at the cost of control.

RIP Technology (Reverse Interlaminar Placement)
RIP uses Mitsubishi’s ultra-thin 20FAW carbon — a proprietary material about five times thinner and lighter than conventional prepreg — to minimize torque and add stability where you need it. The payoff is a shaft that feels smooth and responsive but still holds a repeatable, precise flight window.

Low Kick Point, High Launch
A softer, active tip and low kick point promote easy launch and added carry — ideal for smoother swingers looking for a touch more height and a slightly elevated ball flight without the shaft ever feeling loose.
