Titleist pro v1x left dash 2026 golf ball review: the details

When it comes to choosing which Titleist ball is best for your game it can be quite confusing given the amount of options available. According to Titleist, the Pro V1x Left Dash offers a firmer feel, a high trajectory and drop and stop short game control. In 2024 when Bryson DeChambeau won the US Open he gamed the Pro V1x Left Dash, before switching to the improved Pro V1x 2025 model.

As I currently play the Pro V1x I was therefore excited to compare it to the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash 2026 model.

Let’s see how I got on and what differences I found, if any.

Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash 2026 golf ball review: NCG Summary

4.5 star review

NCG SUMMARY

The Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash is the lowest-spinning, firmest model in the Pro V1 line up.

I certainly found this to be a step up from the Pro V1x in terms of feel around the greens. It definitely feels firmer but it still reacts nicely on the putting surface, providing excellent spin and control.

It’s designed to fly higher and spins less throughout the bag. It has a firmer feel than a Prov1 and ProV1x.

PROS

Extremely consistent
Low spinning with irons and woods
Very high short game spin

CONS

Won’t suit a low speed player

First Impressions

I have used a regular Titleist Pro V1x for a good few years now but I’ve never really seen a left dash ball. Looks wise if you blinked you would miss the difference, which is the tiny dash before the ProV1x wording. The same red numbering has been used, so no difference there. This is the same with the packaging, the silver X packaging has been used with only the tiny dash to separate the too.

Interestingly, reading the back blurb on the box, the left dash has almost identical claims as the standard ProV1x only differing with the dash claiming “very low long game spin” as opposed to “low long game spin”.

NCG Review

The Pro V1 line features Titleist’s most premium and tour level performing golf balls. Of the two main models, the Pro V1 and the Pro V1x, and the lesser-known tour ball, the Pro V1x Left dash. There is also the Left Dot golf ball but this is a Tour ball only.

The Left Dash model is designed to feel firmer and spin less on full-swing shots than the other two balls in the family.

As a long time user of the ProV1x I was excited to compare the two balls, especially as I was trying the left dash for the first time. I tested each ball in an indoor studio to gather data, using my SkyTrak launch monitor as I have used for all ball testing this year.

First up was the all important data with wedge shots. Using a 58° wedge to hit a 50(ish) yard shot. My first shot produced one of the highest RPM’s of spin that I’ve seen this year, with 8242RPM. As you can see in the data table below, the left dash averaged 7810RPM which I’m very happy with and the standard Prov1x still produced a very respectable 7242RPM.

My 7-iron data with the Pro V1x Left Dash ball was pretty good considering this is a firmer ball than I’m used to. The numbers as shown in the table below look very consistent. The spin, launch angle, descent angle and carry distance all have incredibly small variances. The Left Dash aims to deliver very low spin in the mid irons and the spin was definitely on the lower end of what I’m use to seeing.

The numbers with driver continued to be very consistent. Spinning at an average of 2091RPM, it’s definitely ticking the low spin with long game box. I was happy with the carry distance too given the current colder climate was nice to see them getting an average of 223 yards carry.

NCG Verdict

Overall, this is a great ball for a high speed golfer who is trying to lower the spin in their mid to long game. It has a very firm feel that performs as desired.

With wedges the Left Dash produced the highest spin I’ve tested so far in 2026 which is really impressive!
