The present invention is directed to a multi-layer golf ball which includes
a core, a cover and at least one intermediate layer disposed between the
core and cover, wherein the intermediate layer contains a glycidyl polymer
and a thermoplastic component such as a copolyester, polyamide homopolymer
or copolymer, polyetherester block copolymer, polyesterester block
copolymer, polyetheramide block copolymer, polyesteramide block copolymer,
dynamically vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer, styrene-butadiene
copolymer, polyurethane, polymer formed using a metallocene catalyst, or a
blend or copolymer thereof, and optionally a density-modifying filler such
as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, or a mixture thereof.
