The present invention is directed to an improved golf ball core which exhibits an increased COR over golf ball cores made of conventional elastomer blends without sacrificing compressibility. In particular, the present invention is a golf ball core having an elastomer resin, and at least one metal salt of an unsaturated carboxylic acid, filler, fatty acid, and peroxide initiator, the improvement comprising the core further containing from about 0.1 to about 5.0 phr of a zinc salt of a compound of the formula: <IMAGE> wherein n is n integer from 1-3, and m is an integer from 1-2. |
