    How is the longevity and durability of the shoe? Will I last a couple of seasons?


    Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

    I can't honestly speak too much on the longevity or durability. I got the spikeless midway through last season and am a bit of a shoe hoe so I've probably only worn them 10-15 rounds. I really only bought them to have a pair of shoes I could throw on at the house if I was going out for a quick round or range session after work. That being said, I've walked on a lot of asphalt and concrete with them on top of playing the rounds, and the soles don't seem to have worn at all. I would say they would last a season no problem, even if your playing 3 or 4 times a week. I've also never had any issue with the spiked versions in regards to durability so I don't see it being any different with the spikeless. 

  2. The player:
    Current gamer - Titleist AVX
    Handicap or Ave score - 1
    7 iron carry distance with current ball - 180
    Trajectory - Mid
    Putter - 2010 Scotty Cameron Newport 2

    The ball:
    Titleist -Prov1x (Left Dash)

    Distance - More with driver, similar with irons 
    Trajectory - High
    Spin - Less with driver, hop and stop with mid-irons, checks up nicely around the green
    Feel - FIRM!!!
    Durability (1 round) - Like New
    Rating - Gamer

    Notes or writeup:
    I was excited to try this ball when it came to market. My original gamer was Prov1X but was convinced to switch to AVX last year due to high spin off the tee and through my mid irons. If we were playing in the slightest wind the Prov1x would just climb a mile resulting in very inconsistent yardages, but I did love it around the greens. Although the AVX's lower trajectory and spin were a solution to those problems, I really couldn't stand how mushy the ball felt. AVX had a lot more rollout going into greens and wasn't nearly as predictable as Prov1x. Definitely will have to see how Left Dash plays in the wind but for now it seems like the perfect combination between AVX and Prov1X. Another plus was that I was able to get a full round in and the ball wasn't chewed haha. Anyways, it will be nice to see what more people think about the Left Dash, surprisingly it seems like a lot of the reviews I've read have been quite positive from players with both high and low swing speeds. Looks like Titleist might have got it right here. 

  3. Cant wait to try the new AVX. I previously played the V1X and struggled in the slightest amount of wind, switched to AVX and gained about 10 yards off the tee and was able to keep the ball out of the clouds. 

    I haven't spent the time to really look into numbers and comparisons but just from speaking with other players, especially those with high (115+) swing speeds and high trajectories, a lot of them found the trajectory much easier to manage with the AVX compared to other tour balls. Hopefully the new ones are even better!

  4. Hey Everyone,

    I've been following MGS closely over the past year and have decided to join. Lots of great things going on here and very interesting content.

    I played a lot of golf as a junior up until high school and took a 14 year break before starting back last season and my handicap is currently 1. I play most of my golf in the Ottawa area and try to play a few weeks down south over the winter months. Excited to be a part of this great community!
