    Didn't have a very good front 9 last night, put my second on the 9th into the creek with a standard Pro V1x, when I had to reach into the bag for a new ball and grabbed a sleeve of the left dash off the top.

    Smoked a 6 iron, but pulled it a little left, didn't think anything of it. Standing on the 10th tee, a short par 4 hit my hybrid and this thing jumped off the face like it was shot out of cannon. Same again on the 11th a par 5. I was nearly a full club closer than I've ever been on that hole (just missed being on in 2.) Hit a 7 iron on the long-ish par 3 to a back pin and got it all the way back there, when I would typically hit a 6.

    These things live for full shots. They go high and far. Struggled a little with half and 3/4 shots as they didn't go as far as I was expecting. I suspect I'm going to have adjust a bit. Chipping, I didn't notice that much more roll out than what I would with a standard Pro V1x. I tried AVX before and while I liked them, I went back to the Pro V1x because I didn't like how much they rolled out on the greens.

    I've heard comments about the left dash being "louder" off the driver and irons and to me they are. They definitely sound different, but not unpleasant. Off the putter, they are in fact firmer, but I actually kind of like the way they feel better than the standard Pro V1x. Again, that's a personal preference.

    Overall, I'm definitely a believer in these balls. If you've ever thought about giving them a try, I recommend it particularly if you struggle with higher spin off the longer clubs.

    Thanks for sharing you experience and testimonial. I was struggling a number of years ago and there was a Titleist ball fitting at the course where I play and I attended. Have been playing Prov1s ever since. We are so fortunate that Titleist gives us so many opportunities in the premium golf balls. If it works, don't change it. Feel and performance are the key for most of us. Fairways and greens. With respect. cz
  3. I used the Left Dash for several months instead of my long-time favorite Pro V1x. My experience was much like yours. Outstanding ball off long irons or fairway woods, very good off the driver. No difference from any other Pro V1 or Pro V1x around the greens. I don't play many 1/2 and 3/4 shots so can't really say much about that aspect.

    I actually liked the big bang off the driver and bit of a click on iron and wedge shots. Not everyone does but I thought it had a great sound.

    In the end, I switched back to Pro V1x (and now 2021 Pro V1) because once in a while an iron or full wedge shot to a firm green would release more than I am used to. I struggle to create enough height and spin when the course really firms up and the regular Titleist tour balls give me a little better chance. As far as I'm concerned that is the only possible down side to Left Dash, it is otherwise the perfect golf ball. It sounds like you don't have that issue so you're going to love it!
  4. I've been a loyal Pro V1x user for a few years straight now but I'm planning on getting a sleeve of the left dash to see how they play. I would like a little less spin off my woods and long irons.
