Cold air?
« on: November 22, 2007, 01:51:35 PM »
Will the cold air say around 39F could hurt or damage my bowling balls? I have to leave the balls locked in my car while i work 8 hour day friday.

You want to keep them at a consistent temp.  Can you take them in the building with you????

Yeah you don't want them at temps around freezing or anything around 100 for that matter. If you leave them in the car and go bowling with them cold you risk a good chance of having one to crack. I hate the winter cause I have to lug the equipment in and out all the time but its worth it when you have a lot of money tied up in your equipment. The temp may not crack your ball, but why even chance it?

I just don't like handling my balls when they are cold
So I take them inside while I am at work.

modern bowling balls do not do well in extremes of temperature. i'd see if you can take them in to your work place.

I had my TPC Shooter crack and it wasn't even that cold by the time I used it. It was in my trunk all night.

I would bring them into work with you not worth risking that much money
