Abstract
The present invention is directed to improved cover compositions for golf ball construction and the resulting golf balls produced utilizing the improved cover compositions. The novel golf ball cover compositions of the invention comprise a blend of hard ionomeric resins, preferably acrylic acid based ionomers, and recently developed acrylic acid based soft ionomers. When the cover compositions of the invention are utilized to manufacture golf balls, the golf balls produced thereby, exhibit properties of improved distance without sacrificing playability and/or durability when compared to known hard-soft ionomer blends.
