I am still waiting for my ProV1 Left dash to try out. I have GT2 9*driver and 15* Fairway with GT2 rescue. I hear many good comments about the new version. I know there should be a new version of the drivers, Fairways and Hybrids as along the new SM11 wedges. I used to be a TM Driver man however with the new versions of the ProV1 and ProV1x I have now been a Titleist man. I stii haven't tried the new Left dash yet. I know it should be better than the original left dash or Titleist wouldn't have released it if it wasn't better. Looking forward to the new products being released after the show in Orlando. Can't wait to place my order for the new equipment! Keep up the great work at Titleist!

I have been playing the left dash for 3 years and as a aged golfer, it made a big difference especially off the tee. The new left dash did not disappoint and I believe is a little longer and straighter. I saw no difference in iron shots for distance but the ball did hold line better and held green just as good. To me no difference around greens or on them. Its just a quality ball that I will continue to play.

I found the balls flight was just what I was looking for. And that the rotation off the tee was great! And its rotation on short irons was very good for stopping.

Overall I really like this ball!! And my playing partners noticed improved consistency in my game!

Thank you for the opportunity to receive the white box ProV1x Left-Dash to test. I’ve already filled out the online review via the QR code that came in the white box. But I did notice a big difference in the new version. Durability was much improved. Distance was noticeably farther, however, I don’t like how clicky the golf ball feels. That’s why I usually stick with the ProV1x, but this new Left Dash in 2026 could change my mind. Thanks again for opportunity to review.

I typically play the regular prov1x. I have been playing titleist for a while as a pga professional. I don’t have that high of a ball flight and only swing my driver at 90 miles an hour. That being said I am still playing between a 3-5 handicap. I found the prov1 left dash white box ball I got from our rep to knuckle on me too much off the tee. The ball also didn’t react of the face with putting to my licking. It made a clicking sound that I didn’t care for and I had a harder time controlling distance with this ball then the current Prov1x that I play.

Thank you for allowing me to demo the Left Dash golf ball. I’ve been playing it over the past two weeks in Palm Desert, and it truly is the best ball I’ve ever used.
• Off the Tee: Long and straight with a consistent, penetrating flight. The ball holds its height beautifully, giving me confidence every time I step up to the driver.
• Iron Play: When compressed off my irons, the trajectory remains consistent, delivering reliable distance and control.
• On the Green: What I appreciate most is the way the ball reacts on approach shots—one bounce and then it stops. I don’t want a ball that spins back ten yards; I want precision, and the Left Dash delivers exactly that.
Overall, this ball combines distance, consistency, and control in a way that elevates my game. It’s a premium option that feels tailor-made for players who value predictable performance from tee to green.

Really excited to be picked for this. I’ve played the left dash in the past, but moved to the ‘23 V1X during some swing changes. After switching irons to new T-Series have been evaluating a lower spinning ball, so this opportunity came at a perfect time.

I’m fortunate enough to have a GCQuad at home, so was able to do some testing in my “lab”. For the sake of comparison I used:

• new ‘25 Left Dash
• ‘23 V1X
• ‘25 V1
• recently reissued V1 Left Dot
• prior generation Left Dash

For the first go around I hit 50 yard wedges with my SM10 60* and 7 irons. I have a reasonably high clubhead speed (95 with 7 iron), so tried to keep it closer to 90mph to maintain some semblance of relatability.

Of course I took out anything erroneous and took the most consistent shots from a chs/path/attack perspective. Attached are a couple of screen shots to sum up the results.

Surprisingly, the peak heights were pretty close, as were descent angles:

Ball Peak Descent
23 v1x 34 47
23 v1x dash 34 46.9
25 v1 dot 34 47.2
25 v1 35 47.9
25 v1x dash 33 45.7

Some thoughts on the new Left Dash:

• Feel is really similar to the X line. Blindfolded I couldn’t tell the difference between the prior and new. Same with the putter - normal firm “clicky” feel.

• Observable flight seems flatter than the prior gen Left Dash. This thing just hits absolute seeds.

• Spin definitely dropped from the prior gen. For me it might actually be too low when combined with the flatter flight.

Will work on some driver testing next and if it’s interesting happy to share the numbers.

Was only able to test them on a simulator due to a military deployment. Overall I believe the ball is slightly improved with a noticeable different sound off of the driver. On average the new model went a couple yards further than the previous left dash. The biggest improvement was with wedge spin. The new model seemed to spin more than both last year’s model (left dash) as well as last year’s ProV1.

Hope this helps!

I've been using the Left Dash's exclusively the last couple of years since moving away from the AVX when it had its latest revision. For my playing conditions and swing mechanics I need a low spin ball. I would love to play a ProV1 for the feel and other characteristics, but I can literally spin them off some of our greens with short irons. The LD has been a great ball, not only the extra distance and control off the tee, but for short irons I can get it hit and stop with minimal back up.

This brings me to the new LD that I'm very appreciative to have the opportunity to test. To start, my handicap range is +1 - 1, 59 yrs old, play roughly 50+rounds/yr, and like to practice a couple of days a week at the range. I have pretty good control of where the ball is going usually. My initial impression of the new LD is it "feels" better than the previous gen. Not so much with driver and longer clubs, but with chipping and putting. I know feel is very subjective, and I'm not saying it feels as good as a ProV1, but it feels a touch softer than previous gen. It's still a firm ball comparatively. Being from the northern Midwest (N WI), I was able to play several rounds with it outside before being relegated to Simulator season. I found the new ball to be very familiar with similar launch and carry characteristics I was accustomed too. Where the new ball shined for me was the finesse area, chipping and putting. It's somewhat hard to explain, but the little softer feel seemed to connect better to wedges & putter for me.
So with outside testing unfortunately ended for the season, I did some ball testing in the simulator vs the previous gen ball. As what I expected out of the driver & longer clubs, I didn't see much of any change. Now where I did see a difference was with the shorter irons. There was some additional spin, roughly 100rpm, but don't hold me to that because I'm not using the most high tech simulator. No matter the actual number, my testing showed it was an increase from the previous gen.

Overall I was impressed by the new ball because it maintained its original characteristics of being a higher launching lower spin ball off the longer clubs, but softened a touch around the greens. To me it feels like the mothership left the core and construction alone, and updated the cover with new tech. With this all said, I will be purchasing the new ball when it hits the market! BUT please make it so we can custom order similar to the V1 & V1x.
Thank you again for the opportunity!

I really enjoyed this ball. I played 4 rounds and tested on sim 3 different times. I have tried the current generation left dash and thought it was a bit to firm feeling. This one is a definite upgrade in feel overall. To me it felt very similar to prov1. It launches high and cuts through the wind nicely. I gained 10-15 yards on average compared to my normal prov1 off the tee. Irons is where it really shines for me on course. Felt soft but fast off the face and held greens very well. It does feel fairly firm putting, but that’s to be expected.

I also wanted to confirm my on course feel with actual information, on my sim the spin numbers and ball speed were fantastic with irons, a fraction down off my wedges. Not enough to be an issue. My driver carry and ball speed was also fantastic. Average ball speed with prov1 is around 158 left dash was around 163 mph. The spin was consistently around 2100. When this ball is released I’m seriously considering switching.

Thank you for the opportunity to test this ball

I received a dozen of these at the TT event in New Mexico earlier this year. While I don't typically play the Left Dash, I have played the old one in the past for a while and I wanted to test the new ones out to see what may have changed. I will note up front, this are not the ball for my game, and my scores and fittings would reiterate that.

To hopefully make this as useful/comprehensive of a review as possible, I'll start with my stats: I am a 6.8 hcp, higher launching, higher spin player with a 115 mph driver head speed swing. The "testing environment" (my local country club in northern Virginia) over the past couple months has been colder than I would typically play in, rounds were in the low 50s to mid 60s, and a bit firmer than normal, but not hardpan.

To compare the new Left Dash to the old and the current ProV1, here are my thoughts:

With the driver I noticed a significant height increase compared to my usual ProV1, but about the same (maybe a touch lower) than the old Left Dash model I have used.

I appreciated the higher flight in the long irons, though I feel like the spin was very comparable to the ProV1, despite claims it spins less. It could very well be my swing that was causing this, but I found this ball a little more difficult to control. That is, I noticed the ball working left and right a bit more than compared to the ProV1 (about 5-10 yards is my guess). I feel like the left/right workability with this ball is a bit more pronounced that the old Left Dash as well, though not as much as the ProV1.

I can get pretty flippy at the bottom of my swing with the shorter irons and wedges, so this is where I noticed the biggest performance change in the new Left Dash. Full shots launched / ballooned a bit more than the old LD, and considerably more than the ProV1. However, when I adjusted my swing (as much as a 7 handicap can while mid-round) to flatten it out a bit and keep my hands steady through the swing, I noticed it spun back quite a bit more on the greens - probably an additional 7-10 feet of added spin backwards than the ProV1, and maybe 2-3 feet more than the old LD. Again, could be a “me” thing, but I definitely felt like this carried more spin into the green than I am used to.

Feel. What can I say about the feel of this ball? It is firm. Not my preference. I use an insert-less putter which means the *ting* sound off the face is high pitched and a bit jarring. I noticed this with the old model, too, but this seemed a bit more pronounced. The other place this was prevalent was on mis-hits. Remember I said it has been a bit colder than normal. A slight mishit with a long iron on a cold day is already not fun. It is even more not fun when the ball is this firm. I think this is all personal preference, so take what you will from that.

Overall, I didn't really notice any difference in distance in the top of my bag with this ball compared to the old model or the current ProV1. The bottom of the bag is where I noticed any considerable distance changes, which I attribute to the spin (though maybe incorrectly). But again, this is largely because of my swing, not the performance of the ball.

All in all, I think this ball could be great for some players (I mean, what Titleist product isn't?), but I am not one of them. I will stick with my ProV1s or the Left Dot ProV1s if and when they are ever available (wink wink nudge nudge).

Happy to answer any questions or provide more detail if anyone would like it!

Cheers TT,
Kyle

The Left Dash is my normal ball so I was very excited to receive the 2026 version. I choose to play the Left Dash because I like the high flight and lower spin from driver and long iron shots. I am a member at three clubs and all have very firm greens to high spin from wedges is important and the Left Dash delivers.

The new version performed in similar manner to the 2019 design I have played for several years, but did almost everything a little better.

Feel: I am anxious to find out what the compression of the '26 version is, as it feels a bit softer than the current ball. The ball feels less "clicky" from the putter face, and feels like is is compressing more on solid driver shots. I like to play a firm ball, so perhaps my thought is that this ball doesn't necessarily feel softer, but seems to react better at impact throughout the bag.

Flight: It is still a high launch ball, soaring from the tee on driver shots. I could not detect much of a difference in the dimple pattern (I didn't count them, haha) but I played several rounds in higher wind conditions and the new ball seemed to be less affected than the old ball or anything my playing partners were playing. I like to flight wedges a little lower, and I have more distance control with those shots, and the new Left Dash was eager to perform on those high spin approach shots. I observed better stopping power on greens, rivaling the ProV1x.

Distance and consistency: The Left Dash has always been a great distance ball and I definitely appreciated the performance of the new ball. I didn't use a launch monitor, so this is unscientific data, but I can say I was never disappointed. I normally figure around 180 yards for my six iron, and I flew a 187 yard pin with the new ball. Again, not a scientific observation, but I was surprised enough to take note.

The most notable difference from the current ball was the cover. The only complaint I ever had about the current generation is that I found the covers easy to damage, especially with full shots from bunkers. I played one of the new balls for three straight rounds, and my home coursse has 96 bunkers. I didn't observe any cuts or little peels on the cover. No marring at all.

I am a dyed in the wool Titleist loyalist.

I am 59 years old. I play about 75 rounds a year. My Index has stayed in the 4-6 range for several years.

The weakest part of my game is chipping. I consider myself an average iron player and a good putter and driver of the ball-straighter than most and 260-270 on average.

A long time user of the Left Dash and AP2/T100, I switched back to the ProV1 when I started playing the T200 and now T250 irons. I began having difficulty generating enough spin with the irons and wasn't holding greens as I'd like. Especially sunbaked summer greens.

I was thrilled to be chosen to test the new Left Dash.

My testing has been somewhat limited by weather conditions (I live in Salt Lake City) but I have tried to compare/contrast to the ProV1 and the original Left Dash.

Feel: New Left Dash didn’t have a notable difference in putting or full iron shots. My perception is that it did feel a little softer on wedge shots. Like the ball stayed on the face just a split second longer than the OG Left Dash. I loved it off the driver too. It didn’t feel like the firm ball it is advertised to be. It felt comparable to a ProV1 in my view.

Flight: High. But similar enough to the OG and very slightly higher than the ProV1. Pleasing to my eye and playable to be sure. Kind of perfect for me off the driver. I prefer a low/low driver shaft. This higher flight and lower spin allows me to play a Ventus Black in my GT2 to get pretty optimal launch and spin. Very stable in the times I have played it in windy conditions.

Spin: Good enough for me in the short game. Again, with my skill level I play bump and run when I can as opposed to skipping something in low and hot. Not a lot of difference in this regard vs. the OG or even the ProV1 really. Probably a little less spin than a ProV1 though.

Distance and Consistency: The new Left Dash is so good off the Driver for me I am planning on building the rest of my bag around it. Which flies in the face of conventional wisdom but it is that good.

I saw longer drives on average. 3-8 from the OG and 7-12 from the ProV1. As previously stated, may average drives are 260-270. I have had several of 280 and even longer in certain favorable conditions. Even better is how straight it goes. I have not lost a ball off the tee in the 5 full rounds I have played it and have hit 73% FW. The cherry on top is the confidence I have on the tee. I feel like I can swing as hard as I want with impunity. It's not going sideways or ballooning.

I like it so much off the driver I considered going back to the T100 irons to pick up some spin vs. my T250. But first, I have bent my T250 2* weak but have not had enough time to test.

This test was enough for me to go back to the Left Dash regardless. And I am excited to have a revamped version.

Thank you for the opporunity.
