Looks like My Golf Spy thinks the Titleist ProV1 Left Dash is it.

I haven't tried this ball.

Any feedback on how it feels on your irons and putter.

Been playing the Srixon Diamond, but I almost believe that the TP5X is longer by a few yds.

Thoughts ?

Do you play a different ball with each of your 7 bags??

I don’t create enough compression to play the tour level balls.

I will say I like several of the options for my game in the “soft” spectrum.

ProV1 is a great ball. AVX suits me better, and even on down the Titleist scale to Tour soft and tru feel, but not the velocity rock.

I don’t have the elite swing speed that many on here possess, but I can (usually) find it and hit it again.

Have you tried the Srixon Soft Feel or the Callaway Supersoft ?

I tried the Diamond this year. Bought two dozen. After playing nine balls I have not opened another pack. I was not impressed and I really wanted to be given my fanboy status for Srixon irons. TP5X are definitely better balls to me. I went back to AVX.

My swing speed is about a paltry 90 mph and the AVX is a super ball. Hate the price but love the ball.

I like the Supersoft.

The soft feel just did not seem to fly as far as some of the other options.

Wilson Duo is another one I’ve played.

Srixon Q star is a good ball for me.

A lot of people play the Q Star.

I think that I am headed back to the TP5X.

I float back and forth between the Chrome Soft X and ProV1X. Haven’t tried the left dash, but did try the Chrome Soft X LS and wasn’t a fan. For some reason the LS ball just felt different and like I had less control.

I played it for about 6 months. I’m a high speed high spin player with a towering ball flight. That ball is as hard as a rock and i truly didn’t like the feel. It even made my ball flight higher. But it’s very low spin. Main reason i don’t play it is around the greens. The feel and lack of spin just bothered me. I play the Prov1 now but very intrigued about the left dot though.

TaylorMade TP5X is the longest I've tried to date.

Left dash is legit. It’s very long.
Over all, I prefer the TP5X
I haven’t tried the Diamond Zstar yet

I don't care how slow my swing gets over time, I will never play a non-urethane ball.

Maxfli Tour. Can't beat the performance for the price. My swing speed is low 100's. Maxfli Tour has soft feel, good distance, and good stopping action on greens.

I will second this. Snell MTB-X is my favorite ball when considering performance and price, but when I’m lazy and forget to put in the order I go to Dick’s and pick up a couple boxes of these for around the same price and the difference is negligible to me.

Left Dash is the real deal and long. The Diamond is a good balance but I feel it wins in 2 categories: wind stability and Balata like performance from 100yrds in.

The Diamond is my go to ball.

I didn't make it 6 months. Gave it about 5-6 rounds and decided against it. Ball is hard and very clicky. I can move the ball pretty well and this ball just didn't like that at all. It flies long and straight. I liked it from the tee on windy days but that was about it. Not nearly enough spin around the greens and putting wasn't any better. You'd need a soft insert on the face of the putter to have any feel with this ball. It will definitely suit someone that doesn't desire Pro V1 level feel but wants long and straight off the tee. That it does really well.

I've also given the Z Star Diamond several rounds. I like it but still not enough to replace the Pro V1 or TP5x. Both of those balls outperform the new Srixon ball to me.
