I taped up my foam chucks and immediately saw a huge improvement.  Now I can do more tricks and can do a continuous back to back grip wrist roll up to 20 times!  I used red duct tape.  They are heavier now and a little harder.  This was a great improvement I recommend anyone that has foam chucks to try this.  Now I can do some intermediate techniques at slow speeds.  The extra weight helps spins to continue without losing momentum.  This is a good step to do for a beginner.  Upgrade your foam chucks with some tape.  You won't regret it.

My foamies are based on tape :D

I have a 3 x 2.5mm² cable as core, put some foam similar material around it and fixed the whole thing with tape  :greendude:

My only chance to chuck indoors

That is a great idea MasterNinjaJustin, the problem I have when training with foamies is that they are too fast and lightweight. Next time I'm out I'll be trying out this method. Thanks!  :-)

what's the weight of these foam ones that're for sale everywhere?

(I had a crack at making some pure foam ones at home earlier out of old carpet underlay and found them just infuriatingly sluggish and light). I seem to be most comfortable/competent in the 150-250g range.
