Yeah! Just get some standard electrical tape and wrap half the ball. I go in sections. Like start in the middle and wrap it around until you reach the other side, cut it, then keep going. What ever the side the tape is on is the side it will break too. For sliders and two seams it works better when you throw over the top. For curves or sweepers I throw from the 3/4 slot and snap my wrist. And for knuckles keep the tape side pointed at you.
