Left Dash ProV1X

[Red4282]

Ill just add my limited feedback so far on left dash durability. After my first 18 with one ball, the “shine” has worn a bit but no scuffs at all. I think i even hit a tree branch pretty hard on one hole as well. If thats how it will perform, thats good enough for me.

Played two rounds with the left dash this weekend.  In my opinion they do have a slight durability issue.  I like to use the same ball for the entire round but it is just not possible with the LD.  I'll continue to use them because I bought 8 dozen and I do love the distance and lower spin.

Guys, @Red4282 @tgarit1 obviously the durability issue is because you both aren’t capable of making “square strikes” and not backing up 7 irons 2-4ft on 11+ greens as pepperturbo previously stated…… Work on your game, get your hdcp to a 4,  and those issues will go away. 😉

Not that I already didn't know it, but this thread has further confirmed that my swing speed is nowhere near high enough to scuff a ball. 

 

I hit the Left Dash and rarely even leave a mark or anything on it. Well, except when it hits a tree or a cartpath 😊

HAHAHAH.  I just noticed the durability problem recently.  It isn't a major issue and I definitely think the pluses majorly outweigh the minuses.  The LD has to be at least 10y longer than any ball I have played.  I also love that I am not spinning balls off greens anymore.

Those who are seeing durability issues, what exactly? Wedge scuffs? Path? Trees? Sand? Knicks? Dull spots?

Mostly wedge shots.  My past experience with ProVXs, TP5x, and Tour BX lead me to say that the LD is the least durable of the bunch.  Obviously this is purely anecdotal.  Still a great ball

That's strange. My experiences with the durability of Left Dash have been the on the opposite end of the spectrum. I've noticed far less scuffs than the ProV1 and the X, and I dig at the ball pretty heavy with wedges on most shots.

Scuffs mostly.  It could be due to my steep AoA with irons though.

Seems to be player dependent? I played yesterday but it was 40* so i put my winter ball in play, but hopefully get another round in soon with the left dash to find out for myself.

The only durability issues I see with the Left Dash are the same exact durability issues I see with any other ball I put in play. 

 

Trees and cart paths.

Another 18 yesterday, didnt play first hole with the left dash-(driving range right and water left, no warmup lol). Remaining 17 was with the left dash. Didnt realize it but it is also the same ball my previous round was with so you are seeing about 35 holes of “durability”.
 

The biggest thing to me is titleist balls always seem to stain or lose its whiteness. But other than that, one minor scuff from a tree, but it didnt effect performance whatsover, to the tune of 11/13 fairways hit and 15/17 greens hit and finished with birdies on 3 of the last four holes. It really may just be the perfect ball for me performance wise.
