Titleist introduces the Pro V1x Left Dash, a new golf ball option focused on distance and controlled ball flight.
Originally launched in 2018 as a specialty solution for select long hitters on the PGA Tour, the Pro V1x Left Dash has become an integral part of the Titleist ball lineup. Now this model receives an update after four years of development and will be available worldwide from January 21, 2026. The ball promises more speed, longer carry, and improved wind stability, as validated by players across various professional tours.
Titleist’s Latest Version: New Core and Flight Characteristics
The new Pro V1x Left Dash features an advanced High-Gradient Dual-Core that is more resilient, generating greater ball speed according to Titleist. This is complemented by a thicker mantle layer which reduces spin on full shots, while a thinner urethane cover ensures the soft feel around the greens. For improved ball flight, Titleist has introduced a new dimple design with 348 tetrahedral dimples, delivering a more consistent and efficient trajectory.
Development with Challenges
The origins of the Left Dash date back to 2018 when it was developed for select tour professionals. Over the years, extensive testing and adjustments were made. The initial prototypes debuted on the PGA Tour in 2023 but showed excessive spin with short irons. Feedback led Titleist to return to the drawing board, focusing on the core benefits of low spin, long distance, and a stable, high ball flight. The Left Dash is positioned within the Pro V1 family as an option between the Pro V1 and Pro V1x. Its name refers to the side stamp “–Pro V1x,” distinguishing it from other models and making it a popular choice in fitting circles. Internal Titleist fitting data indicates that this model is recommended for approximately six to eight percent of users.
