Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball resin composition excellent in resilience. Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball excellent in a shot feeling and resilience. The golf ball resin composition of the present invention is characterized in that a storage modulus E′ (Pa) and a loss modulus E″ (Pa) satisfy a following expression; log(E′/E″2)≧−6.08 when measured at the conditions of the temperature of 12° C., the oscillation frequency of 10 Hz, and a strain of 0.05% in a tensile mode using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring apparatus.
