A golf ball is formed with a resin composition which contains 5 to 95 weight % of a polyester block copolymer (A) and 95 to 5 weight % of an ionomer resin (B); and a (polyester-aromatic vinyl based copolymer) block copolymer (C), which is mixed with both the polyester block copolymer (A) and the ionomer resin (B) in an amount of 1 to 40 parts by weight on the basis of 100 parts by weight of the total of the polyester block copolymer (A) and the ionomer resin (B). The polyester block copolymer (A) mainly contains a high-melting point crystalline polymer segment (a1) composed of a crystalline aromatic polyester unit, and a low-melting point polymer segment (a2) composed of an aliphatic polyether unit and/or an aliphatic polyester unit. The ionomer resin (B) is produced by neutralizing a copolymer mainly containing an alpha-olefine (b1) and an alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid (b2) having 3 to 8 carbon atoms with at least one metal ion (b3) selected from univalent, divalent, and trivalent metal ions. The (polyester-aromatic vinyl based copolymer) block copolymer (C) contains a block (c1) composed of a polyester, and at least one block (c2) selected from block or random copolymers containing aromatic vinyl based monomers and conjugated dienes and/or hydrogenated products thereof. |
