I’ve found the best method of stiffening ball joints is to insert a small piece
of paper between the ball and the socket. Fit it snugly in the socket, then snap
the ball in otherwise it tears. For extra stiffness use a double or even triple
layer. Nail polish has been suggested, but that didn’t work to my satisfaction -
it wasn’t noticeably stiffer, and it’s a permanent modofication.
