Hard to say, but the ball does offer a unique set of characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>The model first showed up in 2013 with professional golfers seeking the same soft feel as the Pro V1, but wanting even lower launch and spin. With Titleist\u2019s CPO program, it is able to create prototype versions of their balls to test what characteristics different players might benefit from that can be later used in the retail versions of Pro V1 and Pro V1x. Titleist says 3 percent of its Tour-level fittings result in a Pro V1 Left Dot recommendation.<\/p>\n<p>The ball offers a unique set of attributes with a lower flight and spin than Pro V1 while retaining the same soft feel and short-game control.<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/golf-balls\/bryson-dechambeaus-titleist-prototype-ball\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                <img class=\"lazy inner\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BrysonProV1DoubleDot.jpg\" alt=\"Bryson DeChambeau's Pro V1x Double Dot golf ball.\"   style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BrysonProV1DoubleDot.jpg?width=30);\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/>            <\/a><\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/golf-balls\/bryson-dechambeaus-titleist-prototype-ball\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Inside Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s Titleist prototype golf ball<\/a><\/p>\n<p>        By:<\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/writers\/jack-hirsh\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                Jack Hirsh            <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the best-known CPO is the Pro V1x Left Dash, which is now available as part of Titleist\u2019s regular retail lineup \u2014\u00a0with a second-generation version now being played on Tour.<\/p>\n<p>Pro V1 Left Dot directly contributed to eventual retail releases through the use of a high gradient core construction, which helped players \u201csteepen the spin slope,\u201d or, in other words, generate less spin in the long game and more around the greens. High gradient core constructions were first used in the 2023 Pro V1 and Pro V1x releases and <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/golf-balls\/titleist-2025-pro-v1-and-pro-v1x-golf-balls-4-things-to-know\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">again in this past year\u2019s models.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But the original Pro V1 Left Dot remains a staple on the PGA Tour with Titleist saying it makes up 6 percent of its usage. It has been in play for 30 PGA Tour wins, including at the 2018 Masters, won by Patrick Reed. Tony Finau is perhaps the most notable Left Dot user and has won five times with the ball since 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always put a lot of spin on the golf ball,\u201d Finau said. \u201cRight away, [Pro V1 Left Dot] caught my eye because of the ball flight. I think if you can control your ball flight, you can control the distance. And it\u2019s been such a reliable ball flight for me from the first time that I hit it\u2026 I can count on the golf ball in crosswinds, into the wind, downwind. I know how far the golf ball is going to go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Price and Availability<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re lucky enough to score some of the limited batch of Pro V1 Left Dots on release day, you won\u2019t have to pay the markup.<\/p>\n<p>The Pro V1 Left Dot will be available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.titleist.com\/product\/pro-v1-left-dot\/001PVLT.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Titleist.com<\/a> and select online retailers in the U.S. and Canada starting on Sept. 23.<\/p>\n<p>A dozen golf balls will cost $55 (the same as the retail Pro V1 and Pro V1x) and customers will be limited to two dozen golf balls each.<\/p>\n<p>Want to overhaul your bag for 2025?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/truespecgolf.com\/?utm_source=golfcom&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=gear_instruction_promo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/truespecgolf.com\/?utm_source=golfcom&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=gear_instruction_promo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Find a club-fitting location near you at True Spec Golf<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of Titleist\u2019s cult-favorite golf balls is coming back to the retail market, albeit in limited fashion.
