The present invention relates to golf equipment, such as golf shoes, golf
clubs, golf gloves, or portions thereof, formed from compositions
comprising a sulfonated, carboxylated, or phosphonated acid moieties, or a
mixture thereof. The preferred ionomer composition comprises sulfonated
thermoplastic elastomers, sulfonated thermoplastic polymers, sulfonated
thermoset polymers, and mixtures thereof. The compositions include a blend
of about 1 weight % to about 99 weight % of at least one sulfonated,
carboxylated, or phosphonated ionomer and about 99 weight % to about 1
weight % of at least co-component polymer. The co-component polymer may be
a conventional ionomer, a thermoplastic, a thermoplastic elastomer, a
thermoset polymer, or mixtures thereof.
