Now that the Left Dash Pro V1X is available at retail - who’s making the switch?

Now that you can get the Left Dash Pro V1X at retail, who’s making the switch from the V1X and what differences are you seeing?  Thanks!

Higher launch and lower spin as advertised. That's a hard pass for me. Not the ball for me.

[Robert72]

I'll use it....if I find one.

Have they not always been available at retail? Aside from the last few months when stock was low I've seen them on shelves on a number of occasions.

Yeah the reg V1x I've been trying out is way to high for me. Almost balloons on me I don't need a ball that flys real high. I've come to love the Z star XV myself. It's just a flat out winner!

You will need to hammer the living daylights to get maximum benefit. And they spin a lot less around the greens.

I also thought they’ve been out at retail for a while. my local roger dunn has them

I love this ball - as a high SS, high spin player it’s helping to flatten out my ball flight through the bag (no “balloon” balls basically).
Generates enough stopping power relative for my long/mid/short irons.

I hear what many say with giving up the control around the greens vs. a PV1/X, but for me it does have a little bite/control and hasn’t been difficult to adjust to.

Ultimately I like the “feel” of the firm ball off all clubs for feedback and it’s what I’ve been used to for my 10ish years of playing. 
 

Recommend testing it if you can but won’t be for everyone for sure!

I've seen them more readily available for sale at courses than actual golf shops.

Great ball when it was $48/dz. But not for $60/dz.

What do you call the places at courses where you can shop for golf items?

Maybe for maximum benefit, but they are going to be a good fit for lots of golfers with slower SS.

Pro-Shop? What do you call them? But I totally see your point. 

 

I bought some Left Dash at I think Aviara or Arrowood in Carlsbad. I believe they were $42 a dozen back then. Good ball for a scramble if you gotta guy that can hit it hard.

Pro-Shop is what I call a brothel.

At the course: pro shop

anywhere else: golf store, golf shop, etc

Never had a problem getting them whenever I needed more. I'll load up in a few week with the buy 3 deal. 

 

edit..I just got a notice from my club I can order now.

On sale everywhere in UK. Some stores will do you a deal as demand is pretty low.

Surprised Titleist hasn't used the fact that Left Dash holds the world ball speed record in any marketing
