| abstract |
A golf ball including a core comprising a center; an outer cover layer; and one or more intermediate layers, wherein at least one of the core, the outer cover layer, or the intermediate layer comprises a composition that includes at least one specialty propylene elastomer. The specialty propylene elastomer is preferably present in the outer cover layer and/or the intermediate layer. Also disclosed is a composition that includes at least one ionomer and at least one specialty propylene elastomer, wherein the ionomer is present in an amount of about 95 to about 5 weight percent and the specialty propylene elastomer is present in an amount of about 5 to about 95 weight percent, based on the total weight of all polymers in the composition. The specialty propylene elastomer/ionomer composition can be used to make the outer cover layer and/or the intermediate layer of a golf ball. |
