You should take the limited release of the Pro V1 Left Dot as a sign that Titleist is definitely flirting with the idea of bringing another premium urethane offering to market. Regardless of whether the end result is limited distribution (similar to Left Dash) or in every golf shop alongside Pro V1, Pro V1x and AVX, it’s fair to ask how many golf ball models is too many? Based on the relative numbers of previous Pro1x vs Tp5x tests can be used as a relative difference for the ProV1x vs left dash tests to get a comparison. Of course it's not head to head and there are swing differences that could skew these numbers. Per Titleist, the ProV1x Left Dash feels firmer than the standard Pro V1x. In testing all three Titleist Pro V1 balls head to head with a putter, I found that there was a clear stair step progression from Pro V1 to Pro V1x to ProV1x Left Dash. If the Pro V1 is a three and the Pro V1x is a five, the Pro V1x Left Dash is a seven. Impact is louder and firmer. The ball doesn’t feel like it compresses or melts into the face like it does with the Pro V1. This difference is much less noticeable with an insert putter. I tested the left Dash against the Pro V1, Pro V1x, and the AVX.:popcorn: The weather was 61* and really windy. My home course is a link style, started drizzling on #8 and lasted the rest of the round. I hit all 4 balls on every shot. I took the longest drive and played all 4 from there. I putted all four on every green and chipped from at least 2 different spots at every green. We already discussed that the Pro V1x left dash is made for a lower spin. Because of aerodynamics, lower spins help to get higher heights.

It’s also reasonable to wonder if part of Titleist’s positioning is about not infringing on sales of the mainline Pro V1 lineup. In this section, we detail the consistency of the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash. It’s a measure of how similar the balls in our sample were to one another, relative to all of the models we’ve tested to date. Let’s start with the simple part. Compression consistency across the Titleist Pro V1x is good (above average).Pro 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 Your BRX performs very well, but only a certain % of the balls will perform as well as you expect. Some may have some decrease distance, spin, off-center lines, etc. If you feel you hit one dead center and it should have carried 20, 30 or more yards than it did, or ended up straighter and more on target, it may well have been the ball defects that just cost you that distance or off line accuracy.

In this section, we detail the consistency of the Titleist Pro V1. While the above sections largely evaluate conformance to USGA rules, our consistency metrics provide a measure of how similar the balls in our sample are to one another relative to all of the models we’ve tested to date.

Pro V1x is the winner because its swing speed is 105 MPH compared to 100 or 102 MPH of the Pro V1x left dash.

That said, we know that not every golfer can discern subtle differences between golf balls. Titleist concedes that from one shot to the next, you’re going to find plenty of overlap between balls. What it’s hoping to learn is whether there’s enough difference in Left Dot for average golfers to change what Titleist’s VP of Golf Ball Marketing Jeremy Stone calls the “total aggregate outcome.” For those situations, Titleist offers what it calls CPOs – Custom Performance Options. The current CPO catalog consists of 3 golf balls, each to some degree different from the retail offerings. Despite being relatively new to golfers, both models have remained unchanged for the last few Pro V1 release cycles. It’s worth noting that Titleist says lessons learned from both balls have filtered into the mainstream products. Professionals have been using Pro V1x since its launch, and still, it is one of the most used golf balls. The reason for this popularity is the quality and specs of Pro V1x.And, sure, in situations like these it’s reasonable to defer to the manufacturer’s assessment but given how Left Dash’s performance characteristics align with what golfers want ( more distance throughout the bag with enough spin for most around the green), I’d suggest the company is somewhat stubbornly missing the plot. As we’ve come to expect, Left Dash isn’t perfect. Minor defects, specifically slightly off-center cores, and layer concentricity issues, while not prevalent, are not entirely uncommon either. It’s also a reasonable assumption that some golfers will have an issue with the firm feel. Today, Pro V1x Left Dash is an official addition to our premium golf ball line-up, offering golfers even more performance options among our top-tier products that feature Titleist's multi-layer construction and cast urethane cover technologies. 3.
