I found the ball to be the best I have played. I typically play a more cheaper ball just for the sake of saving money. However, after using these I think I may have been sacrificing some scoring by trying to save a few bucks. The stopping power of my long irons with these were magnificent and I could really tell a difference. That and the control around the greens really made a nice difference in my rounds.

This ball came to us after a recent iron fitting for my son (Titleist T150). He was a lover and user of the previous-gen left-dash so that was logged in his profile for the fitting and it turns out his Titleist staff clubfitter said he'd also fit him into that ball so that was validating.

My teenage son kills the ball, plays between a 1-2 and has shot under par countless times. He competes for his HS as well as regional/state golf. His normal driver swing speed is 117-120 but can go much higher and hits a 7i around 195. He's used the updated ball and he said he thought it was better or more controllable in the wind or if trying to keep it down. Perhaps spinning less, but still holding greens. He said slightly firmer around the greens, but nothing to warrant any adjustments. He's dictating this review as I'm summarizing, but thank you Titleist for including him! I'll be stocking up as soon as we work through his current stash.

Thanks!

Handicap Index is around 4.5. Dropped from 6.5 after putting the new ball in play.
I play about 250 rounds per year.
Good feel off all of my clubs, especially irons and wedges.
Ball jumps off of my irons. Pretty consistent with last year's left dash off of my driver and hybrid.
Cuts thru the wind better than last year's model.
Trajectory is a bit higher than last year.
Stops faster on green than prior year on both short game and longer approaches.
Great ball flight and I get about 3%-5% longer distance.
New ball is very impressive

The left dash Pro Vix has a similar lower launch as last year's model but the distance for my driver is about 5 - 7 yards longer. The spin on iron shots and shots to and around the green is impressive as I was able to have shots hold and grab as needed. Putting is the usual solid sound and feel I have come to expect from Titleist. This will be my ball for 2026!

I’ve now played a few rounds with the new left dash.

Feel: softer than previous version which I like

Flight: seems to be slightly lower, which I prefer

Spin: hard to tell, but seems about the same

Distance and consistency: very similar to previous version

Durability seems to be more of an issue

But, I do love my Pro V1 Left Dash balls

This was my very first white box experience! I am a 9.6 handicap playing a GT2 driver, TSR2 3 and 5 wood, t350 5 iron, T250 6 iron, T150 7-W, sm10s in 50, 54 and 60, Fastback 1.5. I swap a U505 2 iron and TSR2 7 wood to make 14 clubs. My gamer ball is the ProV1. In my opinion, are the best performance ball out there. Basically the “if you know, you know” of premium golf balls—tour-caliber performance and the left dash says “I’m different”. The left dash is a great ball for your ego.

Benefits (in a nutshell):
• Higher launch and a touch less spin for players who like control without feeling robotic.
• Lower spin that laughs at the wind even with higher flight.
• Harder feel than ProV1 with just enough bite to stop on command.
• Built for consistent ball speed and repeatable results—because surprises belong in birthday parties, not tee shots.

I played two rounds and used my ball for the first three holes and used the white box balls for the remaining holes. Feel was the biggest difference for me. The harder left dash was noticeable but not horrible. If you’ve hit a Pinnacle you know hard and this wasn’t that, but you knew the ball was there with feedback on each contact with the club. Ball flight was a little higher and less spin carried about 10 yards longer for me off the tee, and through the top of the bag. Scoring irons didn’t feel much difference as I rarely choose a full swing club from 130 yds in. Drop and stop performance was really good- the high flight balanced out less spin so no difference for me. Again, great for the ego. Putting took a hot minute to get used to the harder ball and the sound, but it was manageable.

Overall a great ball. I noticed the feel more on full shots and at the top of the bag more than with scoring irons/wedges with less than full shots and chips. Great higher, but still penetrating, flight in the wind. Putting reminded me the ball was a bit harder and took a bit to adjust.

I have played the left dash ball since it was first introduced. I am a golfer in his upper 70’s but still carry a low single digit handicap. I found the new ball very similar to the original left dash but found it a little firmer off the tee and was slightly longer with the driver. I found the launch characteristics similar but found the new ball slightly softer into and around the green. Not much difference with the putter but perhaps just a slight bit firmer than the original ball. I played the ball in some slightly windy conditions in Florida and found that it penetrated the wind very well but still stopped on the green fairly quickly down wind. I don’t anticipate switching to the new version of the left dash ball to be a problem for me when it becomes available.

I played 4 rounds with the new left dash. I believe they are a bit longer off the driver and better control for spin. On the irons I felt they were about the same maybe just a little less carry, not enough to call them short but didn't think I compressed them as well as the previous model. As always, my game could have been a little of a day. Around the greens and putting they were the same great ball I have been playing.

Again, these are just my experiences and I am no expert on performance, but, I will continue to use these because I believe they are well fitted to my game.

First of all I would like to thank you for the opportunity to test these. I really love the left dash balls. I have a 8 handicap and I found the new ones give me more distance, better feel and also give me more spin around the greens. The spin is what I needed the most, but truly love the new ones and really I liked the older ones better than any ball I have ever played

I am a 6 Handicap who plays about 100 rounds a year in Illinois. Played the ProV1x Left Dash over a few rounds. The Feel was solid, and more firm than my normal ball (TP5x). Despite the firm feel, I did find it had a solid, consistent roll on the greens. Found it to have a firm feel around short game shots, and while there was good spin, I did not see the same stopping power as a standard ProV1x. I found the flight to be a little higher than my normal ball, but got consistent distance results.

I've played about four rounds with the 2026 left dash Pro V1x and will keep this one in the bag.

I've had success with the previous models, notably distance off the tee and the 2026 is impressive. I had one of my longest drives with this ball. I've tried all the top balls that claim more distance for moderate swing speeds and this ball tops the list for me. It was consistently longer throughout the bag. I went through all my clubs on the monitor at the PGA store and it was longer by five to eight yards.

Around the green and off the putter, the 2026 seemed to feel a bit softer and held the green better on approach shots. This is what made it stand out as a keeper. My home course has firm greens (Desert Willow) and the 2026 left dash held better than previous models. Launch was higher and spin was notably better.

As a 13 handicap with some senior golfer swing issues, I recommend this ball as your gamer.

I'm a 2.0 handicap, and only play the current model Left Dash when I play golf for the last 3 years. I've already submitted a full survey through the QR code on the card that came in my White Box, but wanted to note my main performance differences in the new ball in this thread to see if others experienced it too. It seemed like my driver ball height was lower with the new Left Dash, but I was getting the same total distance. Iron height seemed the same along with carry distance, but there seemed to be less spin control with around the green chips. I only got to play two rounds, but still have another sleeve and will do some more testing. Thanks!

I'm a 66-year old golfer, with an 8.5 handicap. Still longer than most my age (ave. 235-240y with driver), I find that distance and trajectory control are critical to my overall game. Due to weather (and work) I've only had a couple of chances to test the new Left Dash, but I'm beginning to get a good idea of the performance level I can expect.

When testing a ball, I like to compare with other balls I'm familiar with. For one round I used the new Left Dash, along with a new ProV1 and a srxn Z-Star. I alternated balls on each hole, playing six holes with each, including a par 3. The second time I played, I used a new ProV1x and the previous Left Dash model.

In each case I found the Left Dash to be longer and to be the most consistent in trajectory -- high buy not the highest flying (both the ProV1x and the srxn flew higher - especially with mid irons). When compared to the original Left Dash, the new ball feels a little softer off the short irons and wedges and with similar rollout on the green. The ball is definitely firmer than anything else I played, except for the ProV1x, which I thought were very similar. On thing I noticed was that the "feel" off the driver always seemed to be solid, even when I wasn't dead center on the face. There was very little wind either day, so I really haven't had a chance to test that, but I did find that the new Left Dash stays on-line very well, even on mishits.

Among all the balls I used, spin seemed a little lower but runout on approach shots was very acceptable. On the green the feel off the putter was solid and let you know when you struck it solidly. If you prefer a really soft feel on the green, this ball would not be a good fit -- it's definitely not harsh feeling, but the difference between the Left Dash and the ProV1 was easy to feel. To the firmness, and I know this isn't very scientific, but I had a chip and a long putt that both hit the stick and "bounced" off the stick with a solid sound, it definitely didn't "kill" the speed when it struck the stick. Seeing that, I tried to emulate it with a few practice putts and I found that the ProV1 seemed to hit the stick and stop (or fall in) while the Left Dash and the ProV1x both seemed to have a little bounce to them.

I was very pleased with the overall performance, as it matched my expectations and I believe that the improvements in the ball over the original, will be obviously to most.
