Abstract
Compositions for golf balls including oxirane functional endcapped polymers and, in particular, compositions formed from polyurethane-based or polyurea-based prepolymers that are endcapped with an oxirane functional group. The oxirane functionality is opened with a suitable curing agent to provide a composition that has flexibility via the prepolymer backbone and stiffness via the oxirane functional endcaps.
