Abstract

The present invention comprises a method for forming a golf ball comprising synthesizing an acid copolymer using controlled radical polymerization, mixing the acid copolymer with a monomer containing a carbon-carbon double bond, creating a mixture and neutralizing the mixture with a metallic base, forming an ionomeric thermoplastic elastomer for use in a cover layer for a golf ball.
