Very cool idea! I ought to take a "cue" from you and epoxy mine too. Btw, I was thinking of buying that stuff that coats surfaces with a kind of soft but very durable vinyl...like what you see on some plyer handles, or even the "club" anti-theft lock. I would like to coat the ball AND about 3/4ths of the handle. I think it would look pretty nice too, but I'm not sure where to find it, or exactly what it's called. If anyone knows, please fill me in. Thanks!
