The present invention provides cocatalysts for activating metallocene complexes in olefin polymerization reactions, and metallocene catalyst systems using the cocatalysts. The cocatalysts of the present invention include: (a) a halo-organoaluminum compound of the formula AlnRmX3n-m, where Al is aluminum, each R is independently a Cl to C4 alkyl group, X is a halide, n is 1 or 2, and m is determined by the valency of Al; and (b) a dialkylmagnesium compound of the formula MgR'2, where Mg is magnesium and R' is a C2 to C6 alkyl group. The components (a) and (b) are used in amounts such that the molar ratio of Al:Mg is at least 2, preferably from 2:1 to 5:1.
