Titleist’s Pro V1 Left Dot golf ball – a lower-flying, lower-spinning Pro V1 model used to win more than 30 PGA Tour titles – will be available to golfers in a limited run beginning Tuesday.
Originally a custom performance option (CPO) on tour, the Left Dot (sidestamp •Pro V1) emerged from a trend of tour players who preferred a lower, more penetrating trajectory with lower long-game spin than Pro V1 but with comparable greenside control and soft feel. The next generation of Titleist’s Pro V1x Left Dash golf ball officially landed on the PGA Tour, with players at the Procore Championship getting their first opportunity to put the new model to the test.
What distinguished the Pro V1 Left Dot’s breakthrough is its high gradient core construction, allowing for dramatically lower full-swing spin while retaining short-game spin and control. That high gradient core technology was featured in both new Pro V1 and Pro V1x models for the first time in 2023 while the current 2025 generation has maintained a high gradient design.
Since the start of 2025, 3 percent of tour-level ball fittings have concluded with a •Pro V1 recommendation for a considerable subset of golfers who may benefit from Left Dot’s combination of lower flight, lower spin and soft feel. It accounts for roughly 6 percent of Titleist golf ball usage on the PGA Tour so far in 2025.
Tony Finau has won five times on the PGA Tour with Left Dot since 2021. “I’ve always put a lot of spin on the golf ball,” said Finau. “Right away, [•Pro V1] caught my eye because of the ball flight. I think if you can control your ball flight, you can control the distance. And it’s been such a reliable ball flight for me from the first time that I hit it. … I can count on the golf ball in crosswinds, into the wind, downwind. I know how far the golf ball is going to go.”
Pro V1 Left Dot ($55; limit two dozen per customer) will be available through Titleist.com and select online retailers in the U.S. and Canada only beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 23.
