Titleist introduces the Pro V1x Left Dash, a new golf ball option focused on length and controlled ball flight.
What started in 2018 as a special solution for a few long hitters on the PGA Tour has now become an established member of the Titleist ball family: the Pro V1x Left Dash. Now the model receives an update. According to Titleist, four years of development went into the new Pro V1x Left Dash, which will be available worldwide from January 21, 2026. The ball is designed to be faster, fly longer, and remain more stable in the wind, all validated by players across various professional tours.
Titleist’s New Edition: New Core, New Flight Characteristics
The new Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash features an advanced high-gradient dual-core. According to the manufacturer, it is more elastic, delivering greater ball speed. This is supported by a thicker mantle layer that reduces spin on full shots. A thinner urethane cover simultaneously provides the necessary feel around the greens. For flight behavior, Titleist employs a new dimple design with 348 tetrahedrons, which the company says ensures a more consistent, efficient ball flight.
Development With Detours
The origins of the Left Dash date back to 2018. Initially developed as a special solution for selected tour professionals, the ball was tested and refined over several years. The development process was not straightforward. Initial prototypes appeared on the PGA Tour in 2023 but were criticized for too much spin with short irons. The feedback was clear – back to the drawing board. Titleist then restarted focusing on what made the Left Dash unique: low spin, long distance, and stable, high ball flight. The company now 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,” distinguishing it from the other two models, and it has become a savvy secret in fitting circles. Internal fitting data from Titleist shows that the model is already recommended for about six to eight percent of users.
