Claims27
A golf ball comprising a core and a cover, wherein at least one of the core or the cover is formed from a composition comprising at least one acid functional polyurethane, polyurea, or copolymer thereof formed from a prepolymer having a formula of:
- where
- A is a straight chain or branched aliphatic or alicyclic group, a substituted straight chain or branched aliphatic or alicyclic group, or an aromatic or substituted aromatic group;
- and
- B=R—Y, R being a straight chain or branched aliphatic or alicyclic group, a substituted straight chain or branched aliphatic or alicyclic group, or an aromatic or substituted aromatic group, and Y being HSO3, HCO2, or H2PO3.
