ABSTRACT:
Novel golf ball compositions which contain liquid crystalline polymers and liquid crystalline polymer blends. These compositions can be foamed or unfoamed. Golf balls that employ at least one layer of these blends in any of the golf ball cover, core, or a mantle situated between the cover and the core provide ball properties and performance similar to and in some cases better than the state of the art ionomer based golf balls.
