So I was digging through my closet, and I found a make your own bouncy ball kit. put a drinking straw in the mold thing, and then poured in the powder, and it made a nice rubber counterweight. 🙂

edit: well the drinking straw broke, and the string started going through the ball… so I ended up axing the straw idea and upgraded to a papermate pen.
