ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to improved cover compositions for golf ball construction. In this regard, it has been found that if high levels (i.e. greater than 10 pph resin) of fatty acid salts (i.e. metal stearates, metal oleates, metal palmitates, metal pelargonates, metal laurates, etc.) are added to various ionomer resin formulations utilized in golf ball cover construction, the covers produced thereby exhibit similar or improved coefficient of restitution (C.O.R.) values combined with similar or reduced hardness (i.e. an increase in softness) properties. Moreover, since the fatty acid salts are significantly cheaper than the ionomer resins and the discovery that fatty acid salts can be added at relatively high levels without detracting, and many instances enhancing the physical properties of the overall formulations, the addition of high levels of the fatty acid salts presents significant cost savings in the production of golf balls.
