ABSTRACT:
The invention provides golf balls formed from plastomers which have a molecular weight distribution of 4 or less. Plastomers can be included in the cores of multi-piece balls and in the mantle of multi-layer golf balls in crosslinked or uncrosslinked form, and can be used to form golf ball covers and one-piece golf balls when the outer surface of the ball is crosslinked. Golf balls which employ these compositions as covers have high durability as well as good cut resistance.
