Abstract

A golf ball cover composition. This composition includes an amide block copolymer having a hardness less than or equal to 40 shore D, and an ionomer having a hardness greater than the hardness of the amide block copolymer. The respective amounts by weight of the amide block copolymer and the ionomer depend upon the desired cover hardness.
