Description

TENSEI 1K Pro Orange with RIP+: counterbalanced, mid launch

The Mitsubishi TENSEI 1K Pro Orange with RIP+ is a counterbalanced wood shaft with a mid-launch, low-plus-spin profile and a mid/high kick point. Mitsubishi built it for golfers who want maximum ball speed from longer builds or heavier club heads without giving up a smooth, responsive feel or stability.

Mitsubishi describes this next-generation Orange as the first smooth, counterbalanced bend profile in the series, with a firm-plus handle, medium-plus midsection and medium tip. It reaches an extreme counterbalance by shifting material toward the butt section, without the tungsten powder used in prior generations. That extra handle weight promotes more activity in the tip, helping generate club head speed while improving clubface control at impact.

RIP+ stability with a smooth feel

Reverse Interlaminar Placement Plus (RIP+) pairs boron in the tip with a proprietary carbon fiber that Mitsubishi says is five times thinner and lighter than conventional material. This ultra-thin material, which Mitsubishi calls 20FAW, sits in the traditionally high-twist tip section, where it is designed to improve stability and minimize torque. Premium 1K Carbon Cloth has been repositioned closer to the tip, and boron fiber reinforcement is again used to reduce torque and maximize stability through impact.

Who it fits

The Orange profile typically produces a more neutral start line and a smoother overall feel, which suits players with a moderate swing tempo.

RIP+ Orange vs the original Pro Orange

We also build the original TENSEI 1K Pro Orange. The two are different shafts, so choose by the flight you want:

Feature Pro Orange with RIP+ Original Pro Orange
Launch and spin Mid launch, low-plus spin Low launch, low spin
Counterbalance Material shifted toward the butt section, no tungsten powder Tungsten powder in the handle
Tip construction RIP+: boron plus ultra-thin 20FAW carbon High-modulus MR70 material on the tip side
Kick point Mid/high High
Weights and flexes 50 to 90 series in R, S and X 50 to 80 series in R, S, X and TX

If you want lower launch and spin, or the TX flex, look at the original. If you want mid launch, a counterbalance without tungsten powder and a mid/high kick point, the RIP+ version is the one to try. Not sure which fits your swing? Patrick can help you choose.

TENSEI 1K Pro Orange with RIP+ questions

Is the RIP+ Orange available to order now?

Yes. Plan on 10 to 12 business days from order to shipment, because each shaft is built to your specs. Orders of $300 or more ship free within the continental US.

Which weight and flex should I choose?

The 50 and 60 series are offered in R, S and X, the 70 and 80 series in S and X, and the 90 series in X only. Weight runs from 51 grams (50 R) to 95 grams (90 X), and torque falls as weight rises. To narrow it down, send Patrick your driver speed and what you play now, or start with our Shaft Selector. In-person fittings are available by appointment in Southwest Florida.

Can I use it in a fairway wood?

Yes. Choose driver, 3, 5, 7 or 9 wood in step 2. Mitsubishi’s tip trim guidance is 0 inches for a driver, 0.5 inches for a 3-wood, 0.75 inches for a 5-wood and 1 inch for a 7- or 9-wood.
