Abstract

The invention provides catalyst systems for use in the polymerization of olefins to produce a polymer product having a broad molecular weight distribution. The catalyst system includes at least two different chiral, stereo-rigid metallocene catalysts of the formula R"(C.sub.5 (R').sub.4).sub.2 MeQp and an aluminum compound, preferably an alumoxane. These catalyst systems are especially useful in the polymerization of propylene.
