Abstract
The present invention is directed to improved cover compositions for golf ball construction and the resulting intermediate modulus golf balls produced utilizing the improved cover compositions. The novel golf ball cover compositions of the invention comprise a blend of a relatively large amount of hard ionomeric resins, and a relatively low (i.e. from about 10 to about 25-30 process) amount of 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 characteristics when compared to known hard-soft ionomer blends.
