There’s a newer addition to the Titleist Pro V family – and if you’re the type of golfer who likes to dial in distance and flight with precision, the name alone might grab your attention.
Introducing the 2026 Pro V1x Left Dash, which is now available at Worldwide Golf. For players chasing higher launch and lower spin, this isn’t just an update. It’s an evolution.
What Exactly Is the Left Dash?

If you’ve seen the “–Pro V1x” sidestamp and wondered what it means, it traces back to a carefully staged rollout that began at the highest level of the game. Left Dash was first introduced in early 2018 on the PGA Tour as a Custom Performance Option (CPO), designed specifically for professional players looking for high flight with reduced spin. Its performance quickly gained traction on tour, and by late 2019, Left Dash was made available at retail for golfers who fit that same performance profile.
Since then, it has continued to earn validation through elite competition and fittings. In September 2025, the 2026 model made its professional tour debut as part of Titleist’s final validation process. That work led to the updated version becoming available now, bringing the next generation of Pro V1x Left Dash to golfers everywhere while staying true to what made it distinct from the start.
What’s New in the 2026 Left Dash?

The new Pro V1x Left Dash builds on the DNA that made it popular with tour pros and skilled amateurs alike – low spin, high flight, and a firmer overall feel – while improving performance where it counts:
• Faster dual-core design: The high-gradient core is more resilient, producing faster speeds and longer distance off the tee.
• Enhanced casing layer: A thicker, high-flex casing layer helps reduce spin on longer shots while maintaining control.
• Thinner urethane cover: This keeps short-game spin in play without softening the feel too much.
• Refined dimple pattern: A spherically tiled 348 tetrahedral dimple design creates a more consistent, efficient flight – even into the wind.
Put simply: it’s longer, faster, and flight-optimized, while staying true to the Left Dash feel and profile that players know and trust.
How Does It Fit in the Titleist Lineup?

Titleist has always focused on helping golfers find the ball that fits their game. With this update, Left Dash takes its place alongsidePro V1 and Pro V1x as a core member of the performance lineup. Here’s how they stack up:
• Pro V1: Mid-flight, soft feel, lower spin
• Pro V1x: Higher flight, slightly firmer feel, more spin
• Pro V1x Left Dash: High flight, firmer feel, lower spin
Also New from Titleist: More Options for More Players

While the new Pro V1x Left Dash leads the conversation, Titleist has also refreshed several other models for 2026, giving players even more ways to match a ball to their game.
For those chasing distance, the latest Velocity has been reengineered with a softer core and faster cover to produce longer shots and lower long-game spin. An updated dimple pattern helps deliver a more piercing flight, and it’s available in white, green, and orange for players who prefer some extra visibility.

Tour Soft received a full core-to-cover redesign this year. The new 386-dimple pattern creates a more consistent flight, while a lower-spin, higher-launch profile adds distance without giving up stopping power. It’s a strong fit for players who prioritize soft feel but still want performance from tee to green.

AVX remains focused on low spin and soft feel but now brings more short-game control into the mix. A reformulated urethane cover adds greenside spin, while updates to the core and casing layer help maintain distance and a flatter trajectory off the tee. Mid-iron shots launch a little higher, making it easier to hold greens.
Finally, TruFeel continues to be a dependable choice for players seeking soft feel and solid all-around performance. It features a softer TruTouch core and TruFlex cover for enhanced control, along with a low, penetrating ball flight.
Each ball brings something different to the table, but all are built with the quality, consistency, and attention to detail that define Titleist.
