A couple of years ago, Titleist released their Left Dash version of the Pro V1x golf ball and it became an instant favorite to a lot of golfers on the THP Forum. Today, another ball is coming and this one features a dot rather than a dash. Enter the Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot.
Titleist as a whole has a lot of golf balls available in pro shops and stores around the country. They also have something called the Custom Performance Option (CPO), which are models designed to offer specific flight, spin and feel performance variations compared to Pro V1 and Pro V1x, and are played across the worldwide professional tours.
The Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot kicks off today with a limited run at select shops as well as Titleist.com, but only while supplies last.
“CPO models are designed to fit players with very distinct needs and preferences,” said Jeremy Stone, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Marketing. “They might launch in a slightly different window to fit a player’s eye, offer slightly more or less spin, or feel softer or firmer. CPO’s give us more tools in the toolbox to optimize and personalize performance for a small percentage of the hundreds of players we work with weekly on tour.”
Each year custom models like this appear on the USGA conforming list, but are produced in very small quantities and tour use only. After the recent success of the Left Dash Pro V1x, it seemed only natural to make this one available as well.
Before we get into the characteristics, an interesting note on the Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot. It is the 5th most played ball on tour this year. Tony Finau busted through with the victory just a couple of weeks ago using it, along with nearly 10 golfers in that field.
So what is the difference between the Pro V1 and Left Dot? It is quite the targeted offering, as most limited runs should be. If you have higher initial launch and high spin, the benefits will be most noticeable. In brief testing, Left Dot slots in between the current Pro V1 and AVX golf balls in terms of flight and spin. For Pro V1 players currently, you should expect lower flight and lower spin throughout the bag, but it becomes apparent with scoring clubs in your hand. For AVX players, expect similar low spin and flight off the tee, but more spin with scoring clubs and greenside.
Testing will continue both in the THP Tech Studio as well as on the course here and we will provide updates in the THP Forum. We expect this one to gain some near cult like following based on what we are hearing, and we look forward to your feedback as well.
The Details
In Stores: Today For A Limited Time
Cost: $49.99
Nice offering. I am all for more choices being available! This one I’ll be steering clear of, though. I need more spin and the ProV1x has been pretty good for that.
For high launch, high spin players…
*exits the building
This sounds like a ball that would fit me. I am gaming pro v1. Balanced and nice feel. I am also, on average, higher launch and spin, but not quite in the avx realm. ?
Ohhhhh this ball is my everything hahahahaha!
Wow!

Love the AVX except around the green,
Not terrible there…but this description checks off a ton of boxes!
Love this!
oh wow. this sounds like the exact ball I need
Why buy a limited run ball? What if it works?

I wonder if the “Limited” aspect is much like the left dash… Limited until it blows up, and then straight into the lineup.
I actually just double checked what time the stores open today. They have better set a dozen or three back for me.

I asked this and the answer is more about growing towards the future and how products are evolving based on feedback from these CPO products.
Ball was on their site and tried to order then disappeared. o_O
EDIT:
F5 F5 F5 worked and some headed this way. Limit two dozen it looks like.

The beauty of all these fun toys! Knowing what fits you and what doesn’t is pretty critical.
I noticed you stated that the ball would be for sale on their website as well, but I am not seeing anything on their.
This is not the ball I am looking for..

Keep refreshing, came back up a few minutes ago
This sounds pretty awesome. A ball that slots between the ProV1 and AVX is right up my alley.
This ball sounds really good for my flight and swing. Here is my issue, being a limited run I could purchase a dozen see that I like it and scored well. Then try to go back and what buy every dozen I can find before they are out of stock and not produced again. I would really dislike to find a ball that works perfect for me only to have it pulled away (not available) for my future rounds.

Multiple Orders…Test…Don’t Like…Sell
Multiple Orders…Test…Like…Enjoy
I get the distant future and running out (agree), but I don’t want to miss the opportunity to try them and have on hand for a while.
First thing that comes to mind, this seems like a TourB RX type of ball….
Less spin on the Driver, some spin in the short game.

The AVX would be the closer comparison to RX in the grand scheme of things, although still different.
i fell for this…needed something to buy anyway :rolleyes::LOL:
Since I struggle to launch high shots this ball isn’t for me.
I’m sorry, a ball designed for AnthonyC? Yes please.
Ordered 2 dozen. Can’t wait to try them out. Seems perfect as I’ve loved the launch of the AVX but missed the short game side of the Pro V1
I’m a low spin guy, so if I read it right, probably not a fit for me.
I’m quite happy with the ProV1, but this has me intrigued. Looking forward to the info shared from the THP Tech Studio.
Bought two boxes.

Looking forward to your feedback
Hmm doesn’t sound like my ball, but out of curiosity, I’d give a sleeve a try if they pop up at my local.
Interesting that they’re finally making these available to the public.
I ordered 2 dozen – Let’s seen what kind of performance I get….
And …. ordered!
[ATTACH type=”full”]9025422[/ATTACH]
I love options! Excited to see how this one performs. I liked the AVX off the tee but it didn’t spin enough on the wedge shots around the green
Typical….not offered in Canada so far 🙁
Edit – they did show up but missed them while at work/golfing after work. I would hope something this popular would get a longer release.
I am looking forward to feedback from folks. It sounds like a ball that could work for my game.
What’s the difference between this one and the left dash?
I got 2 dozen ordered. Looking forward to giving them a try!

Sounds like this ball is what the AVX should have been all along.
Not in stores here, glad I ordered a few.
By the way it sounds these should work well for me. Interesting to see when I get my dozen.
Currently out of stock on Titleist.com. bummer

totally agree. An initial “limited offering” designation will fire up demand due to perceived scarcity. If the demand is anything like the Left Dash, Titleist will never walk away from it.
They sure sold out quickly. I checked with my local store and they know nothing about it. bummer
Got my tracking numbers! Great news! Bad news…Will not be here when they arrive early next week:oops:
I too asked at the stores and they had no clue what I was asking for.
