Disclosed is a polypropylene with an MFR of at least 20 g/10 min comprising a homopolypropylene and within a range from 2 wt % to 20 wt % of a propylene-α-olefin copolymer by weight of the polypropylene, where the homopolypropylene has a MFR within a range from 30 g/10 min to 200 g/10 min, where the propylene-α-olefin copolymer comprises within a range from 30 wt % to 50 wt % α-olefin derived units by weight of the propylene-α-olefin copolymer, and has an IV within a range from 4 to 9 dL/g. The polypropylene may be obtained by combining a Ziegler-Natta catalyst having two transition metals with propylene in reactors in series to produce the homopolypropylene followed by a gas phase reactor to produce a propylene-α-olefin copolymer blended with the homopolypropylene.
