Abstract

GOLF BALL COVER COMPOSITION

Abstract of the Disclosure An improved golf ball cover is disclosed.
The cover has balata replaced by cis 1,4 polybutadiene in an amount up to 30 parts without producing a deleterious effect on the cover yet maintaining the good "click" and "feel" of a balata covered golf ball and increasing the toughness of the ball cover.
