So, I was thinking about this when winter approaches in northern climates you always see these questions about leaving balls out in the cold in your car/trunk or for that matter could also be hot days down south.

Here's my question.  So, what's the difference between leaving your equipment in your car vs. equipment that is shipped UPS, Fedex, USPS during these same weather/climate?  To me it's thwe same thing.  So, why is it not any different?

Just an FYI.....I live in a northern climate and am the type of guy that on a colder winter day would even go to the effort of bringing in my equipment to work if I was going from work to lanes.  That's how anal I am.

But's what the diff....if across country shipment say from Buddies to midwest where I live for a ball in a UPS truck?  Is it because it's not drilled?  What about drilled stuff that's shipped around the country on deals here on BR.com.

I think driling is what leads to the cold weather cracking, allows for more expansion and contraction, the hole you placed creates a weak spot in the link, undrilled the completed object (short of a void in the cover) and thus should not crack in shipment, drilled balls are a different story, I have bought drilled balls and had them be cracked from that 30k foot fllght on (ups/fedex/dhl doesnt truck everything)

I also when i dont have time to go home after work before league bring my stuff with me and it comes inside as well on cold days, for a couple of reasons one is the cracking potential and the other is I dont like to bowl with them cold, they dont feel right to me
