TITLEIST Pro V1x Left Dash Golf Balls

Product Information

This golf ball by Titleist is more popular than the Left dash model because of its spinning capability and better air dynamics. The spherically tiled tetrahedral dimple design is 348, higher than the other. Tour players one hundred percent strike the ball better than I do, so won’t suffer with the low spin numbers I produced. I was surprised that a ball that feels so firm could produce such high-spinning numbers, and I’m starting to see why tour players use this ball. Short version – it became readily apparent that what I was seeing was likely attributable to the cut itself. I’ve been a standard Pro V1 user for basically 12 years, and I’ve gained a fair amount of speed in the last 12 months, so I wondered if a move to a different Pro V1 model might help my scores out on the course.

Of the three performance golf balls the AVX offers the lowest flight, lowest spin, and a soft feel. My gamer for years have been the Pro V1x. The last 5 rounds I switched to the V1 and my last 5 rounds were in the 70's. Due to the increasing demand for low-spinning Golf balls, Titleist introduced the Pro V1x left dash in recent years.

Pro V1x Left Dashis for players who are looking for lower spin on all shots. It features flight characteristics very similar to Pro V1x (high flight),and a higher compressiondesign,which deliver both lower spin and a firmer feel than both Pro V1 and Pro V1x. My worry is that the feel will be substantially harder than what comes off the Bridgestone. But that would be something that works itself out when you get around the chipping area for a bit and putt with it. All the balls performed really well. The V1x missed my target the most. All balls that hit the green never really ran out more than 5 feet. Again the -V1x was loud. Titleist’s PGA Tour seeding of its new 2023 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls began at the 2022 Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas (although several pros actually started using them the event prior, at the 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship).

As a result, the peak height of the Pro V1x is slightly lower than the Pro V1x left dash. However, both have an average distance of 212-242 Yards. Compression While we did find multiple balls that were likely slightly off-center (not unusual with four-piece construction), none of the cores was significantly off-center to the degree that performance would likely be impacted. Ball for ball, results were similar to what we found with the 2019 model. That’s pretty much true for all of the metrics we collect. Core Consistency True Price is how we quantify the quality of a golf ball. It's a projection of what you'd have to spend to ensure you get 12 good balls. Pro V1x left dash, which came out long after Pro V1x was made with the aim of lower spin, needed high compression. That is why the Pro V1x left dash compression is 99-102.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. Both Pro V1x and Pro V1x Left dash cover is made of Urethane Elastomer materials. So many would think that they both would feel the same to touch. The next part of the test was hitting 50-yard wedge shots. This is a key shot for a golfer as we want to try and generate as much spin as possible with a short swing for maximum control when the ball lands on the green.

There are golfers out there who do spin it too much with their scoring clubs and who do hit it too high, so it's a great option. We speak to hundreds of golfers daily and softness is a massive preference." Titleist introduced the Pro V1x golf ball in 2003 after its predecessor Pro V1 in 2000. The aim was to improve it internally and change some gaming aspects.The combination of a soft cover, firm inner casing layer, and progressively soft inner cores allowed Titleist to decrease spin in the long game and increase distance on full shots, while maintaining the short game spin that Titleist golf ball users have grown accustomed to in recent years. 2023 Titleist Pro V1 vs. Pro V1x LD has been my primary ball for last 2-3 years. I like it the best with my driver and wedges. With my driver, it launches bit higher with lower spin and it seems to offer more predictable spin control with my full and partial wedges. I still have enough spin on my approach shots. It does have firmer feel and I like it. The -V1x is a great ball in it's own, but its not for me. It's to loud and hard feeling off the driver. It just doesn't work for me off the driver. I need all the distance I can get off the tee box. I can not afford to give up 10 to 20 yards. The new design offered alternative performance to benefit some golfers, enough that it made sense to make Left Dash availablefor sale, rather than just players on tour. So, in the fall of 2019, limited quantities of Pro V1x Left Dash hit the shelves in golf shops.

For those that don’t know, the left dash is a “tour” only ball that you won’t find at your typical golf store on the shelf. At least not here. Can you play aggressive low flighted chips with one hop first bounce, grip on the second and gently release out kind of flight? High-speed tour players hit the ball so hard and compress it so much that they need a ball that doesn’t just melt into the face of a driver or spin up too much, the Left Dash Pro V1x is the right solution to their problem. Outside of this elite group, however, the ball doesn’t have a massive following, which is why Titleist has been content to keep it on Tour. With the release of low launch/spin AVX last year, Titleist now has a ball for every conceivable elite player profile. Tom says: "Tour Soft will fly a fraction lower than Tour Speed and it won't give you quite as much control, which is down to the difference in the cover systems." VelocityFordie Pitts, Titleist’s Tour Consultant for Golf Ball R&D, confirmed at the Shriners that Titleist’s goal with the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls was to make them “a little bit longer,” by reducing spin on high speed full shots. To avoid a tradeoff on short game performance, though, Pitts and team sought to keep the short game performance the same within 100 yards. As we discussed with our Q-Star Tour review, our compression consistency metric is an aggregation of two compression considerations. When we look at the average ball compression across the sample, we find a seven-point compression difference between the firmest and the softest. That’s not exceptional but it’s solidly in the average range. Standard deviations for the same metric place the ball in the “high average” range. Well, in case you're not aware, Titleist has a fourth option that may be the answer - Pro V1x Left Dash. 1. Pro V1 x Left Dash Began as a Titleist CPO
