Titleist introduces the Pro V1x Left Dash, a new option for golfers seeking distance and controlled ball flight.
Starting in 2018 as a special solution for a few long hitters on the PGA Tour, the Pro V1x Left Dash has long been a fixed member of the Titleist ball family. Now the model gets an update. According to Titleist, the new Pro V1x Left Dash, which will be available worldwide from January 21, 2026, has undergone four years of development. The ball is designed to be faster, fly longer, and remain more stable in the wind, all validated by players on various professional tours.
Titleist’s New Edition: New Core, New Flight Behavior
Inside the new Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash is a further developed High-Gradient Dual Core. According to the manufacturer, it is more elastic and therefore delivers more 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 green. For flight behavior, Titleist opts for a new dimple design with 348 tetrahedrons, said to provide a more even and efficient ball flight.
Development with Detours
The origins of the Left Dash go back to 2018. Originally developed as a special solution for selected tour pros, the ball was tested and adjusted over years. The development was not straightforward. First prototypes appeared on the PGA Tour in 2023 but showed too high spin with short irons. Feedback was clear—back to the drawing board. According to Titleist, they restarted focusing on what originally made the Left Dash special: low spin, long distance, and a stable, high ball flight. Therefore, the company positions the Left Dash in the Pro V1 family as an option between Pro V1 and Pro V1x. The name ‘Left Dash’ refers to the side marking ‘-Pro V1x’, distinguishing it from the other two models and is already a well-kept secret in fitting circles. Internal fitting data from Titleist shows the model is already recommended for about six to eight percent of users.
