- I EXPECTED DISAPPOINTMENT... NEW TITLEIST PRO-V1X LEFT DASH vs STANDARD PRO-V1X!? When we see a new titleist golf ball its generally time to get excited... but which golf ball should you use? which golf balls should you buy? what is the best golf ball of 2020? last week I played golf with the brand new Titleist Pro-V1x left dash and I wasn't sure what I thought about it... how does the -ProV1x compare to the standard Titleist Pro-V1x? in this video I compare Titleist golf balls and see which one suits me more, should you get fitted for your golf ball? sometimes too many people think that low spin golf balls and low spin drivers are the answer to longer drives... is this true? what about the scoring clubs around the greens? let's do it.. and let's do it now!

Been playing these for 5 rounds and has turned into my gamer. Has helped since I am a relatively high spin player with everything (flippy with the hands and a lot of downward attack angle)
I will definitely be playing a left dash, as soon as I find one
Hahahaha
Most pro shops should have them but don’t display them. Try asking if they have any.
Clubhousegolf.co.uk have them
I’m sticking with the AVX
We have them at my course and when i was stocking the balls i was so confused why there was a dash on it
I use these balls James. When people ask, I liken them to a firm version of an AVX. On shots around the green I don't get they run out like the AVX and for those approximately 100yds shots it doesn't rip back or roll out, it just stops.
I'd be keen to see you test and compare the new line of Bridgestone balls - or maybe just the Tiger ball.
i play the callaway chrome soft truvis. tried using other balls but always go back to them. good video again mate
Hi James. Please do a video on the 3x triple track golf balls. Erc, chrome soft and chrome soft x. Since I have changed to triple track my birdies putts go in and most shots go straight
Love it, found a PIX down the left side of one of our fairways on Saturday, have you been traveling down south? Mind you found 4 proV1's as well (wasn't looking for my ball - but only managed to keep the PIX for 9 holes before i lost it too..!)
Might have mentioned this on a vlog previously.... I'm an 18 Hcap and play the ProV1X (Yellow), really like it, a good friend (LPGA player) was fit by Titleist for the left dash, she loves it! I've never thought about asking her an opinion on it but now I'm going to, also, this ball sells out at arrival here in Orlando at our local PGASuperStore....at $52.99, the same day it comes in!! At least she's not paying for them!! Thx for sharing with us James, now go rip that 1+ dudes heart out on a course and vlog it for us to enjoy!!
The public release of left dash has coincided with the removal of about 200 trees from my home course. I now play the left dash.
I struggle with low spin with irons but spin driver too much that's definitely technique. I used to use avx but switched to Pro v1 much prefer the feel around the greens but like avx more with long shots. Im liking the fact premium balls are now available in yellow.
Hi James do you think a right dash is a possible next option? And is the whole point of the ball is that it gives the best spin for the all round game, (more spin around the greens great but the trade off is higher spinning shorter drives?), cheers
Went for a driver fitting was I was playing tp5 , pro said nope changed me to a Sirixon ad333 , longer more consistent ball flight ect , half the cost , and they are a lot more durable the tp5s don’t last a minute until they start cutting up , don’t didn’t quite like feel of putter with Sirixon so now playing tru- feel which I find is the best aground ball for my game , tp5s and pro v1 are for the lower handicaps who are more consistent and have a very good swing speed , think some people just buy them to say I’m playing a pro v1 😂
Do you get the same results on the golf course as you do on the simulator.
Morning James for years I’ve used srixon Ad333 and me golf has changed for the good I thought I would try the new tp5 pix ball for this year and the balls seem to further then the ad333 and round the green seem to have more control but not sure if that’s down to me you could always do a one on one test great videos thanks
Good video James - do you think this is a ball you could game? You said in the previous video you game the TP5x which is also a firm ball.. could you ever see yourself make a switch to the left dash? I really wanna get it as I know I’m high spin. Just can’t find anywhere to try it first.
James as usual an entertaining video...But please do something about the light in you’re studio, I’m on full brightness and it’s still dark .. 😉⛳️🏌️♂️🍻
Surely consistency of strikes has to be good but I can definitely tell the difference in feel. I usually use PRO V1 but have recently started using the new Bridgestone balls and also recently tried Srixon z-star and I loved the feel of those just a much as a PRO V1
all down to preference though
I second the Srixons. I’ll play TP5s a lot but the Z-Stars feel so good.
There’s a huge difference in feel IMO.. I got a box for Father’s Day and my driver seems to go a bit further but other than that no difference. Mainly they feel harder on all clubs including the putter
I found a ProV1 with a dash on the left and a dot on the right on the course what does those markings mean? Anyone
Great job James. I played the left dash earlier this year because I am a high spin high flight player. The ball fit everything thing I was looking for but the firmness and the click of the ball around the greens a couldn't deal with.
Did you try the Prov1 instead? Its softer feel, but a firmer ball, lower flight, and less spin. (Titleist swapped them in 2017)
@send-golf yes. Looks like the new AVX is going to be perfect.
James how about doing a ball fit video and see what you should be playing.
Hi James, good video. I wonder what the difference would be ,between the Titleist pro v1x left dash and the Titleist AVX doing the same test?
Look at mygolfspy's extensive ball test
I'm searching for a ball that lauches a little higher than a Chrome soft but about 20% less spin but has the same soft feel!
I haven't tried one of these left dash balls yet, in fact I haven't even seen one of them. I like the Pro V1 balls but as I am a high handicapper I usually play with what I can find.
Nice video.
I am going to try gaming with the left dash for a box. I like a high compression ball off my driver, but not top flite hard... but around the green I like the skin of the ball to have some bite on the face of my wedges. My number one concern with high compression balls is how to the feel off the putterface. Putting is the money maker, and good feel gives one confidence to make the put. WE SHALL SEE!!!!!
Seems like complicated id for a golf ball. So when I'm in woods and find one may try it. Due to my time in woods is why I don't play 4 dollar balls.
The ProV1x is already way too firm for my hands. I can't imagine how hard the left dash must feel. But to each his/her own!
And way too much side spin
I want less short game spin. I tend to hit chip & run shots round the green & I don't carry a lob wedge. Greenside spin is less of an issue when I select my golf balls.....
Love the hat. Love the bag. Love the clubs. I wish I could afford it all
Someone gave me these by accident when I asked for Pro V's and I didn't notice until after the round. I could tell there was some kind of difference but didn't know what it was lol Here to figure out what to expect from the "left dash"
Very interesting. . . . . I won a sleeve of these @ West Lancs GC yesterday, we ll see how they go.
Lower driver spin will prob suit us amateurs.
Its probably a very clever marketing strategy too, what they say is correct, so they can say it, but putting some 'spin' and smoke n mirrors around this creates interest and intrigue, which is what Taylormade do, very clever. Quality.
I have been told I'm a high spin player (but I really haven't seen that with my Skytrak on a mat and on the course: the high spin numbers were with Trackman on a mat). So I eagerly tried the left dash. Using my Skytrak I see more spin difference than you've shown here with every club. The left dash does carry further (over 5 yards with irons - a lot) probably due to the reduced spin. Occasionally I get a ballooner with the standard that has much more spin (11000 RPM with the standard using a 6 iron for example). Driver distance is nearly the same. I need to go to the course to see how the left dash will work on grass, around the greens and how much roll I get from the driver. The price is the same. Availability although not universal is good in the US. The left dash is not available in yellow right now. If the left dash behaves as poorly around the greens as the original issue AVX, then the advantages with the other clubs will not be enough to switch to left dash.
I find marking the ball with a orange Sharpie reduces spin with the driver without effecting green side spin, phenomenal I know, who would have thought it!!!
How many balls a round do you get down to before thinking about playing a good ball? A:1-3 / B:4-6 / C:7+ play good balls always
I've just swapped out to the Bridgestone tour bxs ball there amazing best feeling ball I've ever used
Great ball, just spins a little too much for me. Lost about 25yds on driver compared to Pro V1. Ripped a PW back 10 yards from 130 out.
@@brettwarren3429 I've found it's gone further on my drives and great control around the greens stops dead which I like
Not even thinking of them. The standard feel a like a lump of concrete to me so anything harder would be horrible . I quite agree with playing with the same ball all the time though .
Test them on the putter, clicky ball with a Scottycameron?, i don't like it, so always feel better with a softer feeling ball. Have you tried it on your Scotty James?
Yes buddy check out the first video linked where we play with them
@@JamesRobinsonGolf Cool, missed that video, shame on me :-)
Have u ever hit a top flite xl hot, that’s a firm feeling golf ball
I’ve been playing the Left Dash for the past year in windy Florida and found it penetrates the wind better. Yes it is firmer (which I liked) and the spin is very predictable.
The prov1x as of 2017 is the spinier (but clickier feeling) of the prov1s For windy conditions you now want the prov1 (but it FEELS soft). I know you are thinking I am crazy, but go to Titleist's comparison page and its clear. Prov1 -> less spin, lower flight. Prov1x High flight, more spin but firmer feel.
I am not sure why Titleist did this, but that seems to be the case now. It almost cost me passing my PAT again last year as I bought PROV1X and started with it, in Florida, with 30 mph winds, and you cant switch balls during a round. So I had to hit half swing punches the whole round until I could switch. I passed still, but most people did not. That is when I learned the hard way Titleist swapped the balls.
Cheers
Fore left!
I think I'll stick with the Standard ProV1X, good distance off the Driver and really good control around the greens. Then I switch to the AVX when the weather is cooler... 🏌️♂️
What do you like about X more than pro V1
@@DavidMossMGS The trajectory of the ball. ProV1X has a different dimple pattern than the ProV1, that gives it a higher ball flight. For me it's only a few more yards but at my age distance is a big deal.
When are they going to make a forward dash that just goes straight?
So its basically the AVX with higher flight?
I'll stick with my TP5Xs.
🤘🏼
And firmer.
Where did you get the hat that your wearing? Nice hat and thanks for the review. Have a great day!
It’s adidas buddy so either on they’re website or some pro shops have them 🤘🏼
@@JamesRobinsonGolf ok thanks for responding and telling me. Have a great day!
just bought a bunch of these left dash balls and Bridgestone tour b XS. Gonna use this ball off the tee then switch it out to the Bridgestone for everything else and hope my mates don't mind lmao.
I think it’s great you left in the bad shots. Another great video!
A person with a Fore Left Driver shot that can surface should not use a lower spinning ball (more spin is more better in reducing curvature) - but if you are a power fader tour level player, then lowering that driver spin by a few hundred rpms is most likely another 5-10 yards carry at tour level swing speeds. You will also gain distance in your mid irons but lose stopping power (these may offset) but at least the wedge spin is similar enough that wedges will hold the green. Seems like an AVX built for Pro Level swing speeds.
Played a pro -am and the pro used these .
However impressive his distance with the left dash TSR 4 driver combi it didn't impress on putting roll consistency or short game stopping ability .
However he did point out that a drive and we'll struck 6 iron with left dash can go around 560 yards and that's the minimum you need on the 7300yard brute golf courses these days . So at the top of the game distance is king .
Do you think the ball makes a difference whatever your handicap?
"Of course it helps if you don't shank them....." priceless
We’ve all been there lol
If I had a dollar for every time I've yelled "hosel-toff".........
Left dash effectively a hard version of the AVX?
I play the Left dash and that's what I tell people. I played the AVX for a while until I got these.
@@michealweathers4769 managed to get a hold of a couple of boxes on special. So will give them a whirl once my TP5 Pix run out...👍🏼
Let me know what you think.
Alright fella. Switched back to Tp5 pix and back down to 7 handicap . It’s all about the ball. 😂👍🏼
This whole ball thing is getting interesting. I think Jack has a point. But us poor higher handicap players won't be happy. But who cares. Unless you are playing in a USGA event.... use what you want. But it will be interesting to see what comes of all of this. Thanks Bryson!
I must ask have you given away the sim driver yet haven’t seen anything about it yet or am I to early
Great content on your videos James!
I've been following your channel from the start and its all been good viewing.
Get yourself and a mate up for a laugh at st andrews, our local and bring your favourite ball.
Me and my mate will take a fiver off ye 😉
When James said sorry he sounded like the friar in the Van Helsing movie when he accidentally lets off some explosives in their laboratory down in the Vatican.
This is my current gamer ball, it is the highest compression, low spinning golf ball, but if you are a low spinner already this is not the ball for you especially off the driver, you will get knuckle balls
I was the heel striker...
We’ve all been there 😂🙈
It sounds like it is intended to be played by players that want that high shot but want the ball to roll still. I know some people that like to play a lot of "bump and run" shots and see the ball release more than check up.
The Prov1x is the higher spinning of the prov balls. And higher flying... The lower spinning since 2017 is the prov1. So the left dash would be somewhere in the middle of the two? But with a clickier fee?, which makes no sense to me. The left dot should be the prov1's firmer ball? Its listed as lower flying, and the prov1 is lower than the prov1x.
So for spin it would be dot -> v1 -> dash -> v1x -> greg maddux curve ball.
I am a firm believer that spin, for amateurs, isn't great unless the club head speed is so low you need it for loft. But back spin is side spin in an amateur. So anyone that hits the ball with a lot of club head speed, but has a bad path, face, or descending blow, more spin is hurting their game.
I am making a couple videos and I was researching when I dropped in here. Great video. Great channel. Thanks.
Nice
Compare the left dash to the callaway x ls
Glad Matt sunk the last for birdie after all those putting lessons.
Have you got them new United Adicross yet James? Look mint don't they
You know it dude 🤘🏼
Interesting
Left dash feels and performs VERY similarly to ProV1x models of 8+ years ago.
You said to . . . “Fore left”.
Why not compare it with a Titleist Trusoft or other cheaper ball - which tends not to spin as much - also if you had an amateur who when fitted - spins the ball too much - see what happens if they use a cheaper golf ball? rather than changing shafts/weight distribution of the club? PS if you put ear plugs in you may well not be able to 'feel' the difference in the balls.
Too low spinning and possibly too hard a feeling golf ball for my liking but you have smashed it again with this quality video
Fore left. That PW was more like Fore car park.
That felt hard. Yes please. That’s what she said.
Edit: these golf balls are for higher swing speed only. If your driver speed is less than 110, these higher compression balls are probably not for you.
Boys and girls, a new ball is in town. Its called the Chrome Soft X LS, if youve been running the left dash and cant get them anymore like myself, the LS absolutely fills the gap. Great ball, super clicky, and i think its got better feel around the green. I might even get the callaway irons now even though i nutted up for a brand new set of titleist cbs 6 months ago.
False I don’t have that fast of a swing speed and I shoot very good with these balls actually the only ball I like to play with I played with them all I tried them all for me and my swingers ball works perfectly I’m not a very fast one or maybe 9080 sometimes and if I wanted to over 100
This is why I play the AVX
Army Golf... Fore Left... Fore Right... We have all been there...
OMG......FORE LEFT!!
I only buy balls if they specifically say “bomb it past my mates”
So it's basically the Pinnacle golf ball.
Fooorrree leeeffftt!!!!!!!!!! 😂🤣. My bad miss now if left and it is not nice⬅️⬅️⬅️
right dash is way better!
I`m going to stick with pro v-1`s
I guess I am an old curmudgeon, but the whole “left dash” thing seems a bit lame to me. The marketing team must have been in quarantine and the janitor named it. LOL
The marketing team had nothing to do with it. The tour team came up with it years ago.
why are you getting 2 yards roll out with your driver? seems odd
Left dash because it goes fore left.
To be honest I have never spent more than £25 on a box of balls, my game isn't good enough to notice any difference.
If Stevie emerson played golf
I just use whatever I find in the forest along the course xD Never spent money on golf balls to date.
Bad balls do happen. Why give myself more disadvantage with possible bad ball. I prefer new even if they are cheap. Sometimes they are in the forest for a reason.
Do this experiment with somebody that swings it over 120MPH. The difference is STAGGERING...
You are amazed, when people use the balls they find? Per round I lose 3-5 golf balls. As long as that happens, I won't pay money for golf balls.
What clubs do you use Sascha? Are you taking lessons? I also lose 3-5 per round at the mo! Lol maybe we can help spur each other on!
wont be going the -
Why didn't they just name it Pro V1-
277 carry & 278 total with a driver makes me doubt the data. 274 carry & 276 total again. Bullshit.
Difference or not it’s a terrible name for a golf ball
😂😂
I’m right tho James surely
Jason Blackmore I agree bud
James Robinson Golf what’s happened to me fox? How’s he doing now and when we going to see him next
Jason Blackmore were meant to be having a weeks filming in Spain next week but obvs not happening now. Will be back on soon
Every ball in that category performs to within 2 yards of each other of the driver, and a matter of a foot at the very most in approaches to the greens. In and around the greens, a matter of inches in difference.....just a marketing ploy to get folk to spend another 40 quid. (imo), of course. As an aside, i took a callaway out of my bag the other day, thought it was the newest model, it was a callaway hex ball, did not realise till the 14th hole...I drove a 330 yard par 4 with the hex.....methinks , not much progress has been made with the ball, these last few years..i am 6 handicap btw..
I don’t see any difference...could we come up with any name dumber than left dash?
More hitting less talking just hit the ball rick sheils just gets to the point
That's the worst name I've heard recently
You need to calm down a bit mate
You need to learn how to use capital letters mate
Talk slower
Ok
I’m
Sorry…

Boring
Why waste your time commenting John? Very odd
And from the 12 minute mark in, i was dizzy as hell. What is the better ball? You labeled the video as a vs. and I stil dont know who won. Bugger Off.
