I use the old left dash but didn't get new white box. Great ball

I got a white box with the new 2026 -ProV1x And let me just explain to you they are by far the best golf ball i have ever played with, and are decently affordable so that everyone can play them. Carry was smashing all of the other balls I had (TM, cally, and Bridgestone) Keep it up titleist and keep making everyone's game the best that it could possibly be

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

Love the left dash since it's been around! Just sent my feedback to Titleist thru their response team on my testing for the prototype they sent for me to test. I guess I was a lucky one. It had different spin, dispersion and height characteristics, than my test -dash It was superb golf ball. Thank you, Team Titleist, for including me in your testing
