Abstract
A method and a bowling ball enclosure are provided for encasing and reducing temperature fluctuations of and within a bowling ball. The bowling ball enclosure includes an inner layer and an outer layer that are made of a polymer material, the inner layer forming an interior region that receives the bowling ball, at least one of the inner layer and the outer layer being monolithic. The bowling ball enclosure also includes a bottom portion and a top portion, the top portion being reinforced with a stiffener to support the top portion, the stiffener being connected to at least one of the inner layer and the outer layer, the top portion being positionable from a first position to a second position to encapsulate the bowling ball. In the first position, the top portion being in an open position to receive the bowling ball into the interior region. In the second position, the top portion being in a closed position to encapsulate the bowling bowl, the top portion being folded towards the bottom portion to decrease the amount of empty space in the interior region. A bottom perforated circulating ring support is located between the bowling ball enclosure and a support surface, wherein the bottom perforated circulating ring support provides for a circulation of air between the support surface and the bottom of the bowling ball enclosure.
