Titleist’s Pro V1 Left Dot: The Tour-Only Ball Now Available to All Golfers!
Hey there, fellow golf enthusiasts! Big news just dropped in the golf world, and if you’re a fan of Titleist, you’re going to want to stick around for this. After a week of buzz around the Pro V1x Left Dash making its rounds on tour, Titleist has revealed that the Pro V1 Left Dot, a ball that’s been exclusively for Tour players, will be hitting the shelves for the public. This limited-release gem is set to hit stores on September 23 — and it’s bringing a lot of excitement back to the greens!
Now, let’s roll back the clock a bit. The Pro V1 Left Dot isn’t just any ball; it’s had a solid run in the Tour scene since it was introduced in 2014. It was specifically designed as a Custom Performance Option (CPO) for those players who wanted that classic Pro V1 soft feel, but with some tweaks for players looking for a lower flight and reduced spin on longer shots. And boy, did it deliver! With more than 30 PGA Tour wins under its belt, including Henrik Stenson’s epic 2016 Open Championship win and Patrick Reed’s triumph at the 2018 Masters, it’s safe to say this ball means business.
Let’s talk about who’s been using the Left Dot on Tour. One standout is Tony Finau, a five-time PGA Tour winner, who swears by this ball. He raves about its reliability, especially when it comes to handling windy conditions: “If you can control your ball flight, you can control the distance. And it’s been such a reliable ball flight for me from the first time I hit it.” Now, if Tony says it’s reliable, you know it’s got to be good!
So, what makes the Pro V1 Left Dot really tick? The secret sauce lies in its high gradient core. This innovative design effectively lowers spin on full swings while maintaining that delicate touch when you’re around the greens. Interestingly, the tech used in Left Dot has also influenced the latest Pro V1 and Pro V1x models, making those balls even better. It’s all about evolving the game!
The Pro V1 Left Dot isn’t just beloved by Finau. Our golf community has seen players like Justin Rose, Tom Hoge, and Jake Knapp all celebrating victories with this fantastic ball in their bag. As of now, it accounts for about 6% of Titleist usage on the PGA Tour. Sure, Pro V1 and Pro V1x still lead the pack, holding 72% of the market share, but Left Dot is definitely making its mark!
Alright, let’s break it down. Here’s what you can expect from the Pro V1 Left Dot:
- Lower full-swing spin compared to the standard Pro V1
- Lower flight for those penetrating shots that cut through the air
- Soft feel that you love from Pro V1, making it a dream to play with around the greens.
Now, for all you eager beavers looking to grab a dozen (or two), you’ll want to know where to get your hands on these. The Pro V1 Left Dot will be available exclusively through Titleist.com and select online retailers in the U.S. and Canada, starting September 23. Price tag? It’s set at $55 per dozen, and there’s a limit of two dozen per customer. So, mark your calendars!
To wrap things up, if you’re looking to elevate your game, the Pro V1 Left Dot might just be what you need. Whether you’re trying to pierce through a gusty wind or just want that sweet soft feel on the greens, this ball packs a powerful punch.
