Let’s start with the simple part. Compression consistency across the Titleist Pro V1x is good (above average). At a minimum, the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash is a ball that golfers, particularly high-speed golfers, should know about. So here we go. About the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash 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. Most professional players want high launch and high spin to reach further. And Pro V1x gives these benefits. Here are some other pros and also a few cons of Pro V1x. Overview Of Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash Golf Ball Diameter was generally consistent from box to box with no indication of significant variation between factories.

When I got the Left Dash on the launch monitor next to the new Pro V1x, I saw that, indeed, it produced less wedge spin. Where the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x [review HERE] are dead even in wedge spin, the Pro V1x Left Dash spins about 10% less. While so many players crave more spin, those that play in high winds or in soft conditions may prefer this slightly reduced spin. Titleist Pro V1x and Pro V1x Left dash are both marked at a premium price as these are used for professional and practice matches. Although, the prices are almost head-to-head.

By any reasonable measure, the Titleist Pro V1 is the #1 Ball in Golf. Individually, it’s the best-selling ball at retail and it, along with the Pro V1x, is the most played ball on the PGA TOUR. As it happens, it’s also now the top-ranked ball in Ball Lab. 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. The Titleist Pro V1 x® Left Dash RCT golf ball is designed to deliver a high flight similar to Pro V1 x® RCT with dramatically lower full swing spin and firmer feel. In addition to all these premium performance benefits, the Pro V1 x Left Dash RCT golf ball has been engineered for radar based launch monitors to provide the most accurate golf ball da ta on these devices for the indoor golf experience . Pro V1 x Left Dash RCT golf balls conform with USGA and R&A rules. There has been a change in the 2023 Pro V1x dual-core design, with the inner core increasing center volume by 44%, from 1” to 1.13” in size. This works in concert with the high gradient, as the larger and softer center helps to drive down long-game spin and increase stability through the air. 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. Is Pro V1 x Left Dashthe Right Ball for Your Game?

Left Dot Versus Pro V1

As we’re coming to expect from Titleist, there’s not much cause for concern when the balls are cut. Across the entire sample, no balls were flagged for significant defects in core centeredness or layer concentricity. Small mantle concentricity issues were observed in a handful of balls. 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. 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. Feel: 2009 and 2015 Prov1x. Woo hoo, my 2 favorite balls of all time. Firm but not hard. Off the driver and 3W the energy transfer was ridiculous.

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. Pro V1x was made for an increased spin on air. High spin often becomes an obstacle to gaining height. Pro V1x Left Dash isn’t as popular as Pro V1x, instead having nearly similar specs. Only 5% use the Left Dash model of Pro V1. Price The 2023 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls made their debut last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship. On our gauge, the average compression of the Pro V1x Left Dash is 102. It’s the firmest ball in our database. For reference, the Cut Blue DC and Mizuno RB Tour X both average 99 compression while the Bridgestone Tour BX is roughly 98.5 on average. Given the correlation between compression and speed, along with Left Dash’s high-launch, low-spin characteristics, it’s reasonable to conclude that it will prove to be one of the longest urethane balls on the market– likely the longest. Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash – Weight and DiameterWhat Left Dash, Left Dot, and Star have in common is that each played a role in developing technologies used in the next generation of Titleist products. 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. Cover If not for Daffue’s ace on Thursday and Higgo leading the field in birdies (both with the new balls), use at the Sanderson likely wouldn’t have reached footnote status in this story but here we are.
