I was recently reminded that a few bowlers refused to heed a warning that I gave about taking your bowling ball into the warmer home rather than leave it in the auto over night. The result of that failure was a ball that cracked into two large pieces.
The worst conditions leading to serious damage are the following: 1) A time of at least 10 or more hours in a warm temperature, room temperature of 70 degrees F or higher; 2) Exposure to unprotected cold temperatures for several hours.
Plastic expands with heat and contracts with colder temperatures. If you start with a warm bowling ball, the ball has grown in size depending on the temperature throughout the ball’s material. When it is then exposed to a cold temperature the plastic starts to shrink from the outside towards the middle. Plastic is a fair insulator so it takes a significant time for the temperature to rise in the center of the ball.
If the shell of the ball is 1.5 inches thick, the temperature difference between the inside surface and the outside surface determines if cracking will occur. The point of this discussion is that when a warm ball is exposed to the cold, it depends on how low the temperature is that determines the rate at which the inside of the ball cools. If the ball cools at a temperature of 10 or 15 degrees, it would probably not crack, however if exposed to zero or minus-10 degrees it probably would crack.
Good luck bowling and have fun striking out!
