Abstract:
A multi-layer golf ball comprising:a center comprising a first resilient polymer component and a first metal acrylate crosslinking agent present in an amount from greater than 12 to about 35 parts per hundred of the polymer;a mantle having at least one layer disposed concentrically about the center, which layer comprises a second resilient polymer component, a reinforcing polymer component having a crystalline melting temperature from about 35.degree. C. to 120.degree. C. present in an amount from about 1 to 40 parts per hundred of the total polymer, wherein the second resilient polymer component is present in an amount from about 60 to 99 parts per hundred of the total polymer and wherein the mantle layer is sufficiently rigid prior to crosslinking to inhibit the second resilient polymer component in the mantle from substantially altering shape; anda cover having at least one layer disposed concentrically about the mantle.
