The new Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash golf ball boasts faster dual-core technology and advanced aerodynamics to drive longer distance and more consistent flight.
“We won’t introduce a product just because it’s new – it has to be better, and it has to be validated by players,” said Mike Madson, senior vice president of Titleist golf ball R&D.
First developed in 2018 as a “custom performance option” for tour players looking to maximize distance off the tee while still maintaining the control and stopping power into and around the greens, the Pro V1x Left Dash (designated by –Pro V1x on its sidestamp) picked up validating wins at the 2019 U.S. Amateur (Andy Ogletree) and 2024 U.S. Open (Bryson DeChambeau) – both at Pinehurst No. 2. It gained its place in the Pro V1 family by offering a high flight similar to Pro V1x with significantly lower full swing spin and a firmer feel.
“When we started testing Left Dash with consumers, it became clear very quickly that a lot of golfers out there are looking for very low spin while maintaining a high flight, and Left Dash fit that need perfectly as a complement to Pro V1 and Pro V1x,” said Frederick Waddell, Titleist’s director of golf ball product management.
The new Pro V1x Left Dash has a faster high gradient dual core, a thicker, high-flex casing layer, a thinner cast urethane cover and a new aerodynamics package featuring a spherically tiled 348 tetrahedral dimple design. The combined features deliver increased ball speed, distance and flight consistency with less long-game spin and more greenside spin and control, according to the company.
“If you’re a Dash player, you should be very excited to play the new Dash because we’ve taken everything that you love about it and just made it a little bit better,” Madson said. “It’s still low spin off the tee. It’s faster, it’s longer, it’s more penetrating into the wind. It’s everything that a Dash player loves with a little bit more.”
Titleist’s Pro V1x Left Dash ($57.99 per dozen) will be available at golf retailers Wednesday.
