This invention relates to novel bridged a hafnium transition metal metallocene catalyst compounds having two indenyl ligands substituted at the 4 positions with a C1 to C10 alkyl, where the 3 positions are hydrogen (assuming the bridge position is counted as the one position) and the bridging atom is carbon or silicon which is incorporated into a cyclic group comprising 3, 4, 5, or 6 silicon and/or carbon atoms that make up the cyclic ring.
