I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or tried stitching together a soft cover/wrap for a ball top? I'm not too keen on the slick/glossy feel of a ball top and want something textured, soft and easier to finger grip. A soft (but firm core) textured rubber ball would be nice, but I was considering stitching together some sort of fabric cover to sit on top.
My car steering wheel is wrapped with Alcantara which is super soft and wonderful to hold, so I'd like to do a cover out of that, or something similar like a suede. I'm not sure how feasible this would be though. Spheres are generally more difficult to stitch as far as I know, plus then you have a cover loose on the glossy ball so you'd have to sand the ball and apply adhesive. If it's not perfectly tight then it's going to be annoying with wrinkles as well.

I've thought about going battop because I hear they are generally softer/textured but I much prefer the grip feel of the balltop
