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.

A system and method for recording and broadcasting motion of a sports ball and individual players includes a sports ball with cameras embedded within for recording trajectory and locomotion, a sensor module for storing video footage and telemetry metadata, and cameras mounted on the sports equipment of individual players. The sensor module includes an Inertia Measuring Unit, a transceiver, a memory, a power source, and a processor, all operatively connected to one another. The sports ball sends data to a wireless data transmission grid mounted under a sports pitch and/or to antennas for transfer to a data processing server which determines a real ball direction thereafter sent to a stadium camera system that generates further 360 degree action-focused broadcasting data. The data is sent to the processing server which processes the raw footage received from the sports ball and individual players to produce clean footage for various applications.

An interchangeable finger insert system for a bowling ball is provided. An inner sleeve has a cylindrical opening defined at a top end. A base encloses a bottom end of the inner sleeve. A fastener-head feature is defined in the base and accessible through the cylindrical opening. An engagement feature is formed along an exterior surface and configured to allow the inner sleeve to be rotationally inserted into an internal bore. A fastening tool with an elongated shaft and a locking feature defined at a distal end of the shaft is provided. The locking feature shaped to engage the fastener-head feature defined on the inner sleeve. The locking feature of the fastening tool engages the fastener-head feature on the inner sleeve, and rotation of the fastening tool is configured to rotate the inner sleeve into the internal bore thereby locking the inner sleeve in the bowling ball.

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 a flexible inner vapor barrier layer and a flexible outer layer that are made of a polymer material, the inner layer forming an interior region that receives the bowling ball. The bowling ball enclosure also includes a bottom portion and a top portion, wherein the top portion is 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. A thermal resistor can be located between the bowling ball enclosure and a support surface.
