How the Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot Became a Tour-Winning Golf Ball
The Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot golf ball, a lower-flying, lower-spinning model trusted by multiple major champions, will be available to golfers beginning September 23, 2025.
Offered in a limited run through Titleist.com and select retailers in the U.S. and Canada, this exclusive release gives dedicated players access to a tour-proven performance option previously reserved for a select group.
What is the Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot?
The Pro V1 Left Dot began life as a Custom Performance Option (CPO), designed to deliver a unique performance profile for specific launch conditions.
It was engineered for players who preferred the soft feel of the Pro V1 but required:
- Lower long-game spin
- Lower ball flight
- Same greenside control
That combination quickly gained traction on the PGA TOUR, where Left Dot has since been trusted to over 30 PGA TOUR victories, including two major championships.
Tour Validation
Pro V1 Left Dot has earned validation from some of the game’s biggest stars:
- Tony Finau – 5 PGA TOUR wins with Left Dot since 2021
- Tom Hoge – 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
- Justin Rose – 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
- Jake Knapp – 2024 Mexico Open (including an opening-round 59 at PGA National)
Players value its reliable ball flight, especially in challenging wind conditions. As Finau explains:
“Right away, [Pro V1 Left Dot] caught my eye because of the ball flight. I can count on it in crosswinds, into the wind, downwind. I know how far the ball is going to go.”
Technology Behind the Left Dot
The Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot introduced High Gradient Core Technology, steepening the “spin slope” to reduce long-game spin while retaining greenside control.
This innovation was later integrated into the 2023 Pro V1 and Pro V1x models and remains part of their current 2025 designs.
Key Construction Features:
- Soft Cast Urethane Elastomer Cover – provides Drop-and-Stop™ short-game control
- Fast, Low-Spin Casing Layer – maintains distance
- High Gradient ZG Process Core – lower spin with driver/long irons
- 352-Tetrahedral Dimple Design – consistent flight
