....Tell you what, go buy a used bowling ball and
a 1 square foot piece of 1/8 thick 5000 series aluminum and an old
baseball bat. Cut the narrow part of the bat off so it's about 8
inches long. Then run a couple screws through the approximate center
of the aluminum sheet into the bowling ball. Then hold the wood
against the aluminum sheet near the screws and start hammering on
the
wood. Move the wood along so the the aluminum is formed to the
ball....

Have a really good story ready in case you get a visitor, so they
don't wonder what you might do with an armor-plated bowling ball.
