TITLEIST Pro V1x Left Dash Golf Balls

Product Information

The Pro V1 line features Titleist’s most premium and high-performing golf balls. Of the two main models, the Pro V1 and the Pro V1x, and the lesser-known tour ball, the Pro V1x Left dash. The Left Dash model is designed to feel firmer and spin less on full-swing shots than the other 2 balls in the family. Left Dash started as a CPO model (Custom Performance Option) on the PGA Tour. While the majority ofplayers on the worldwide professional tours fit into Pro V1 and Pro V1x, CPOsare Titleist golf ball modelsdesigned by Golf Ball R&D to offer specific performance variationscompared toPro V1 and Pro V1x. Titleist R&D originally suspected that Left Dash would suit a small segment of aggressive, fast-swinging players who impart high spin on all shots tee-to-green, but they discovered something different in early prototype testing.Many players saw gains in ball speed and driver distance. In the iron game, because of its steep angle of descent, players were still able to hold greens effectively with mid and long-iron approach shots. R&D had anticipated the firmer feel and lower spin of Left Dash may not be preferred bygolfers, but a large percentage ofthe players who tested the ball commented that Left Dash still felt responsive and it provided very manageable spin and control in the short game. My gauge measurements tell me that the new Pro V1x is one of the most consistent balls in the database. Almost invariably, when we do find significant issues inspecting our cutaways, they correlate with things we see in our gauge measurements (out of round balls, and wide compression ranges within the ball itself being the most common).

Core color consistency was generally excellent, though it should be noted that there is variation from the balls we cut last year. This isn’t entirely unexpected as Titleist adjusts formulations seasonally to ensure consistent performance as seasons (temperature and humidity) change. CoverPro V1x Left Dash is a modified version of Pro V1x with some changes for players looking for a lower spin. Here are some benefits you can get from Pro V1x Left Dash and some Cons. Titleist Pro V1x Vs. Pro V1x Left Dash Golf Ball: Comparison Chart

While most would class this as a "distance golf ball", it's important to remember that Titleist says that all eight of the models in its' range are distance balls. A couple of years ago, Titleist surprised the fans and released the Pro V1x Left Dash model, and I was extremely excited to hit it. NCG ReviewAs you can see on the box, Titleist states that the short game spin of the Pro V1x Left Dash is lower than the standard Pro V1x. This is a little jarring in the context of every OEM stating that all of their Tour-level balls feature equally amazing, stupendous, super duper wedge spin. Long irons: A+ amazing. Nice compressed feel, nice high ballflight, perfect spin into greens. I struggle getting my long irons in the air. These are amazing. That's not bashing Titleist however. They make it clear that the left dash is (really) only made for pros, and maybe a small percentage of amateurs. I certainly don't have a 120 swing speed, and don't have that much spin on my launch anyway, so balls like this don't mean much to me.

These custom models appear on the USGA conforming golf ball list (with slightmodifications to the Pro V1 and Pro V1x side stamp), but typically, they are only produced in small quantities, for tour use only. Can you play aggressive low flighted chips with one hop first bounce, grip on the second and gently release out kind of flight?Pro V1x is the winner because its swing speed is 105 MPH compared to 100 or 102 MPH of the Pro V1x left dash. The Titleist 2023 Pro V1x golf ball, on the other hand, has 348 dimples, a red number, and it has a 4-layer construction (urethane cover, casing layer, dual core). The Pro V1x will offer slightly more spin in the long game and a higher flight, with a firmer feel than the Pro V1.
