Titleist introduces the Pro V1x Left Dash, a new option for golfers seeking extra distance and controlled ball flight.
Originally launched in 2018 as a specialized solution for select long-hitters on the PGA Tour, the Pro V1x Left Dash has become an established member of the Titleist ball family. Now, the model receives an update. According to Titleist, the new Pro V1x Left Dash, which will be available globally from January 21, 2026, has been developed over four years. The ball is designed to be faster, longer-flying, and more wind-stable, validated by players on various professional tours.
Titleist’s New Edition: Advanced Core and Improved Ball Flight
The new Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash features an evolved High-Gradient Dual Core that is more elastic, delivering increased ball speed. This is complemented by a thicker mantle layer that reduces spin on full shots. A thinner urethane cover provides the necessary feel around the greens. For ball flight, Titleist employs a new dimple design with 348 tetrahedrons, which the company says promotes a smoother and more efficient trajectory.
Development with Some Setbacks
The origins of the Left Dash date back to 2018. Initially developed as a special solution for select tour pros, the ball underwent years of testing and adjustment. The development process was not straightforward. Early prototypes appeared on the PGA Tour in 2023 but showed excessively high spin with short irons. Feedback was clear – back to the drawing board. Titleist restarted focusing on what originally defined the Left Dash: low spin, long distance, and a stable, high ball flight. The company positions the Left Dash within the Pro V1 family as an option between the Pro V1 and Pro V1x. The name “Left Dash” refers to the side marking ‘–Pro V1x’, which distinguishes it from the other two models and is already well known in fitting circles. Internal fitting data from Titleist indicates the model is recommended for approximately six to eight percent of users.
