I’m a teaching PGA Associate in the program. I play off scratch. I currently play the Left Dot.

I found the left dash to be further off the tee. Not as soft a feel as my ball but I didn’t mind it.
I really liked the spin and feel around the green.
I feel like the flight and trajectory were not as high as the previous left dash that I’ve tried.

The biggest thing that I found improved was the durability of the ball cover. In and out of bunkers. Clipped the limb of a tree and no significant damage to the cover.

All in all I really liked this ball. Less long game spin. Great iron feel and superb green side feel and spin.
I’m looking forward to putting it in the bag full time next season.

I had a chance to play this ball and I was really impressed. I try to play the previous left dash primarily but had recently been fit into the X, so I was curious how this bal would feel.

I was a bit rusty, but when I made solid contact, I really liked how the ball felt off the club face. It felt very crisp and reactive. I’m not somebody that is looking for a lot of movement when the ball hits the green, I prefer the ball to stop where it lands, so I was happy to see this ball do that.

Overall, the ball felt firm, but not hard, and had a lower trajectory than the X does for me. I wasn’t getting much rollout due to the ground softness, but the lower ball flight says I should expect a bit more rollout with firmer conditions.

For chipping and pitching, the ball reacted well on the greens and I didn’t get any surprise results. When I made good contact, the ball did exactly what I expected. On the greens, the ball still feels like it has a premium cover and makes a rewarding sound off the putter.

Overall I was very pleased with the ball. The previous generation would occasionally give me low spin monsters that I didn’t always expect, but I didn’t get any of those so far with this one. Consistency has improved and the ball still feels great. Looking forward to playing this ball in 2026.

4 handicap

I was fortunate enough to be one of the testers and found them to be great both off the tee and around the green.

Using my MEVO+, found less spin off the tee which helped my distance.

Like others, I found it to be more durable than previous versions. I am excited for these to make it to the store shelves!

Thank you Titleist for choosing me to participate!

I am a +1 handicap. My swing speed with a driver is 105-107. I presently play the proV1x for the spin and added height. I have played around 6 rounds with the new pro V1 left dash.I find the feel is firmer from the driver to the putter compared ti the pro V1x/. The flight is around 2-3 degrees lower but is better performing in the wind. The stopping power is fine but not as much as the X. To me it feels clicky and much firmer with the chip shots and comes off a little hotter with the putter.. The ball is very consistent and the distance is around 5-8 yards longer with the driver.as measured with trackman. i feel as it is an excellent ball however with the firmer feel I will stick with the Pro V1x. Also i believe someone with more speed than me will greatly benefit with using this ball.

I have been using the left dash ball for some time now. I found this ball to be as good as the 2025 ball and maybe slightly longer. Felt good around the greens. Not sure exactly was the change is but I plan to continue to play this ball.

Handicap:15

Feel: putter - definitely more firm…took some getting used to…wedges - more release…overall firmer feel

Flight: launch- lower than my current gamer (TM tour response) trajectory - lower…wind performance - more boring flight

Spin: overall firm feel…not as soft as my current ball…very consistent however…

Distance & Consistency: definitely longer off the tee…didn’t go on a monitor, but was longer…felt I hit shots with a more boring trajectory…I usually hit the ball pretty high…felt more in control of flight…

Overall: enjoyed playing this ball…willing to trade firmer feel for more distance…

Hi.
I am a 4-6 handicapper ( I was a lower handicap when I was younger, more supple and had time to practice) and first tried the Left dash in 2025. I bought a brand new box of 12 and I loved them. At the time I was a member of a golf club exposed to high winds from about 10am.

The 2025 version of balls were awesome in my opinion.

I have played 3 rounds with the same ball (2026 left dash) to test the durability and wow, only towards the end of the 3rd round could I see the wear on the ball.

I am still getting used to the window my new GT 2 driver launches in (a little higher than my TSI 3 before) but it works well with this ball.

3 and 5 fairway and driving iron off the tee I normally hit lower as I use heavier shafts, I just love how the ball 'floats' and it doesn't balloon against the wind.

I like to open the clubface around the green and get that 'check' on the second bounce with my chips. This ball works well in judging the distance. I noticed the ball holds the greens quite well on the 80-100 yards range, even down wind. On a few holes down wind, the pin would be at the back and firm, I'd play for the middle to allow for some roll-out and it would stop a lot sooner than I would expect.

With my Sub 70 putter the sound is a little softer than the previous version of the ball.

Overall this ball is definitely an improvement on the 2025 model. If I kept using the 2025 ball, I would be happy. The 2026 ball improves on the things I didn't know I want them to improve on (if that makes sense). Some times you find something in a ball that just helps your game and gives you that confidence.

You don't realize how important the golf ball is to your game, but when you think about it, you use it on every shot. I would trust this ball with every shot in my round.

Currently play the left dash. For me this new model seemed to spin more around the greens than the previous model.
I found the other characteristics very similar, flight, distance, but noticed the wear seemed to be better with this new model.
I'm currently playing to a +3. Changed my wedges to a black finish to reduce the spin around the green, may need to keep looking for a ball that spins less inside 120 yards.

Thank you for the opportunity to test the new Left Dash ProV1. I am a 55 year old playing to a 0.3 index and I play probably 200+ rounds per year. I used to play the Left Dash for a couple years when I had my TSR driver. When I switched to the GT, the Left Dash just felt harder off the face, which I know is probably just the sound that was making me think that. So, I move to the standard ProV. The new white box Left Dash balls were way better for me. I started playing with noise cancelling headphones on so that I wouldn't hear anything and just focused on the performance. The first thing I noticed was that the ball flight was lower than what I remembered and the amount of draw I was getting on the flight was less than the ProV. As far as distance goes, they were within a yard or two of each other (I played several rounds with two balls), and the Left Dash, I would say, was in aggregate, longer than the ProV. As far as performance with my irons, I found the Left Dash to be excellent and didn't see much difference in stopping power from the fairway vs the ProV. I would say it was the same, or maybe a little less spin than the ProV. Same goes for around the green. I didn't have any drop in spin performance chipping with the Left Dash.

Overall, once I played with the headphones, I lost the feel of a harder ball and found the new Left Dash to be more suitable to my game. I love the flight trajectory I'm getting with the ball. I've since dropped the headphones and actually think the ball sounds great off of the driver. I also recently switched irons, from miz P225's to Titleist T250's and found the Left Dash performed better with the new irons. I am sold on the Left Dash and have already switched my subscription from ProV to Left Dash so that I'm getting them regularly and will be using it as my exclusive ball going forward.

I play the present left dash. Would love to try the new one but so far nothing in the mail lol

Was very surprised and pleased to receive the new 2026 Pro V1x Left Dash white box golf balls for early testing. I did already submit my official review via the QR code provided.

Some info: I've been a Left Dash player since the original was available (2018?) I love the high flight lower spin characteristics. My handicap is currently 2.5 and I'm a lefty. I play on average 3 days a week at my home club and I have access to a Full Swing simulator (2 bays).

In total before outdoor season came to an end here in Michigan I was able to play 5 rounds of golf on course. My first impression with the new 2026 Left Dash was that off the tee the peak height was lower than the current Left Dash and that was a welcome sight for me.

The trajectory is more of a piercing flight that provided some additional roll out while not losing carry distance. With the irons if the trajectory or overall height changed it was not something noticeable to me. What I did notice was stopping power on the greens with full shots. With the current Left Dash I tended to see greater spin/pull back on many approach shots. What I noticed with the new Left Dash with consistency is the ball would land and hold (maybe 18' to a couple feet of spin) and that is a very welcome result. Distances with irons through the bag trended longer but not enough for me to change clubs to accommodate. Again distances were consistent with expectations. In regard to wind, my only concern was with potential for ballooning into the wind. For my few rounds, I did not see any ballooning when hitting into the light breezes that were present.

When working around the greens the new Left Dash behaved as expected in regard to spin and control. I was able to hit both high spin hop and stop shots as well as lofted shots with controlled release as expected. As is expected with a Titleist ball, the results were consistent and within expectations for my game.

As for feel, the new Left Dash feels better without feeling soft. The current Left Dash some times has a tendency to feel harsh especially if you don't hit it in the center of the clubface. The new Left Dash does not have that harshness when off-center strikes happen however the ball still has the expected firmness that a Left Dash player is looking for. With the putter, the new Left Dash provides a confidence inspiring 'click' that has a familiar sound and feel to it. It seemed to me the new Left Dash was a little hotter off the putter face than the current version but the roll was still true.

The sim backed up much of the full swing experience I had on the course. My driver SS across 2 sessions averaged 112mph. Driver peak height was right at 100 feet with a launch angle in the 14 degree window. Driver spin was consistently 2300rpm with the new ball. The current Left Dash was consistently around 2500. Ill say that my AoA with the driver for this testing was steeper than normal so the numbers may be a little higher but all in all the new Left Dash performs as expected with some noticeable improvements.

Definitely will continue to play the new Left Dash when it becomes available for purchase. I'm already looking forward to the 2026 season. Again thank you Titleist for the opportunity to test the new 2026 Left Dash.

I am currently playing the 2025 Titleist Pro VIX Left Dash and play to a 9 handicap. Handicap is slightly inflated due to two surgeries in September which has affected my ability to practice and play for 4-5 weeks. I have always loved the Left Dash!

Distance
Off the tee I felt like I picked up 5-10 yards with a lower, more "piercing" flight. Hit a lot of fairways! I also noticed slightly longer carry with my long irons, hybrids and fairway wood.

Flight
Noticed lower flight with driver (see above). I thought that irons flew more like a regular Pro VX1, slightly higher than previous version of Left Dash.

Spin short game
The new version seems to play softer and stop faster than the previous version. It really accepts spin out of the bunker and around the green.

Feel
It seems to be softer and not roll out out as much on faster greens.

Notes
I did all testing on the course, 5 rounds. I actually played 27 holes with the first test ball so durability was great! I would definitely make the switch to this ball when available.

Thank you for the opportunity to test this new ball and also be a part of this community!

Any idea when these will be available for purchase? Running low on old left dash

I recently received the latest version of the left dash and have had an opportunity to play a couple of rounds with them. For context, I’m a 2 handicap that played ProV1s for years before switching to the left dash last year.
With the new version, I found all the characteristics that caused me to switch to the left dash previously, with a couple key upgrades.
First, I noticed slightly more feel. The newer version generates a bit more spin on partial wedge shots and around the greens.
Second, somehow, the ball seems to generate even less spin off the tee which was a nice surprise.
Durability seems to have improved as well although it is a small sample size.
I’m so glad I was able to participate in this trial and I look forward to this latest version hitting the market!

First time tester, and appreciate Titleist giving me the opportunity to do so. Playoff a 12 handicap, and normal ball is previous generation of the Left Dash.

In a nutshell I found it equal or better in all areas compared to previous model.

Feel: In general felt the same off the tee and long iron and one thing I liked most, it seemed a bit softer and more muted around the green and off the putter.

Flight: Flew very similar to previous models but seemed to cut through the wind a bit better.

Spin: Like all PRO-V models excellent control and spin around the greens.

Distance & Consistency: In a shot for shot comparison, more times than not it was a few yards longer than previous models, can’t be certain if that was from carry or roll.

Overall another great Titleist ball that continues to out do previous models. Look forward to putting them in my bag when released. Thanks Team Titleist for the opportunity.

Thank you for the chance to test the new left dash balls I am a 14 handicap and love the new left dash ball. Driving maybe a little longer but what I did like for me they fly a little lower windy here a lot I did go between the Pro V1 and the left dash the Pro V1 in the wind would balloon up sometimes the new left dash played four rounds with it not once did it Balloon up. For me flew lower but stayed in the air longer and had better drop and stop on the greens had it stop in the ball mark twice greens where soft though ball still very firm on putts but for me that is fine I really like the lower flight in the wind cause I tend to put to much spin on the ball so the left dash seems to be the ball for me Thank you for the opportunity to test them Team Titleist really cares about there team members that's what makes you the best Thank's again.

I was blessed to be one of the first individuals to receive the new 2026 Pro V1x Left Dash White Box golf balls. I have been a Titleist amateur tour player for 50 years and I am grateful to Titleist in trusting my testing of their flagship golf ball. I have now practiced and played this new 2026 Pro V1x Left Dash for a month, its performance characteristics are really off the charts impressive.
The feel and contact with all my clubs is very important the putter feel and roll was solid, wedges provided exceptional spin and stopping precision, and full shots provided exceptional launch, predictable trajectory and superior wind penetrating performance. During my rounds the spin characteristics, control and the check up and stop power were poignantly evident and exhilarating. My repeatable distance and strike and flight consistency’s through out my golf bag with the new 2026 Pro V1 Left Dash has immediately made it my gamer

Distance and Consistency off my gamer Titleist TSR3 driver (my 307 yard Albatross Ace club, FYI) off the tee has given me an additional 9-10 yards in gain. Super happy with being able to shape my driver shots both directions on demand with slightly lower flight and lower spin than my previous 2025 Pro V1x gamer.

I highly recommend the new 2026 Pro V1x Left Dash. See y’all on the course, way down the fairway!

Be specific (comparisons to your current gamer are helpful)

left dash is all i play but have not seen the new ones yet.

I am a scratch golfer and got to try out the 2026 left dash balls. I am playing the current model before this white box arrived. After playing 6 rounds with them I can say it is a definite improvement.

My biggest complaint with the current model was short game lack of spin and putter feel (but hey I sacrifice feel for distance it’s what I signed up for) but the 2026 model has improved short game feel/spin without sacrificing the distance! I will be buying these and making them my new golf ball when they come out.

Off the tee nothing has changed and still the best ball out there off the driver. They did the impossible not sacrificing distance off the tee and increasing short game spin. Thank you Titleist

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE NEW LEFT DASH BALLS! I found the feel of the balls around the green to be quite enhanced. The long ball (265-280) off the tee was well controlled. I track my rounds with Arcoss and my dog leg hole drives showed more consistency.

I’d love to test the Left Dots. I haven’t been able to purchase them anywhere yet.
