Abstract
An elastomeric composition for forming a golf ball or a component thereof is disclosed that includes the use of a non-conjugated diene monomer having two or more vinyl (CH2═CH—) terminal end groups. The composition produces a molded product exhibiting an enhanced combination of increased compression (i.e., softness) and resilience (C.O.R.).
Claims25
A golf ball, or a component thereof, molded from a composition comprising a base elastomer selected from the group consisting of polybutadiene and mixtures of polybutadiene with other elastomers, at least one metallic salt of an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, a free radical initiator, and a non-conjugated diene monomer.
A composition for forming a golf ball or a golf ball component, said composition comprising a base elastomer selected from polybutadiene and mixtures of polybutadiene with other elastomers, said polybutadiene having a weight average molecular weight of from about 50,000 to about 500,000, at least one metallic salt of an α,β-ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, a free radical initiator, and a non-conjugated diene monomer having two or more vinyl terminal end groups.
