Abstract:
Compositions including a resiliency additive and golf ball components made from such compositions having a tailored Coefficient of Restitution are disclosed. The type and concentration of the constituents in the composition, including the resiliency additive, affects the Coefficient of Restitution of components made from the composition and, thus, can be used to produce a golf ball having desirable performance characteristics.
