Patent ID: 8912286

Claim:
A golf ball, comprising: a core made from a polymer core composition comprising polybutadiene, a crosslinking agent, and an effective amount of at least one peptizer having a formula where V-Z independently are carbon or heteroatoms, and at least one of R 2 -R 6 is halogen, with any remaining R 2 -R 6 being independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, oxygen-bearing moieties, sulfur-bearing moieties, or aliphatic groups, and zinc diacrylate, the core having a PGA compression of from about 30 to about 190; at least one intermediate layer surrounding the core, the intermediate layer comprising a polymer layer composition comprising a polyalkenamer, a crosslinking agent, and an effective amount of at least one peptizer according to the formula; and a cover layer, the intermediate layer or cover layer having a thickness of from about 0.01 to about 0.17 inch and a Shore D hardness of greater than about 25.
