Abstract
The use of a low molecular weight farnesene, poly(farnesene), and farnesene copolymer in a golf ball is disclosed herein. In a core, low molecular weight farnesene, poly(farnesene) or farnesene copolymer is blended with 1,4 polybutadiene or a polyalkenamer. In a mantle layer, low molecular weight farnesene, poly(farnesene), and/or farnesene copolymer can be blended with non- or partially neutralized copolymeric or terpolymeric ionomer(s). In a cover, low molecular weight farnesene, poly(farnesene), and farnesene copolymer can be blended with highly neutralized ionomer.
Claims3
A golf ball comprising:
- a core comprising polybutadiene;
- an inner mantle layer disposed over the core, the inner mantle comprising an ionomer material;
- an outer mantle layer disposed over the inner mantle layer, the outer mantle comprising an ionomer material;
- a cover layer disposed over the outer mantle layer;
- wherein the cover layer comprises a blend material of at least one material selected from the group consisting of a farnesene, a poly(farnesene), and a farnesene copolymer, and a terpolymeric ionomer.
