I used pipe insulation and a beer cap to add thickness (and cool factor...)
I started with that. then I was looking at my daughter meesing around with some clay and had a better idea.
I went to the craft store and for something like $2 picked up a small block of black clay called "Sculpty"
Broke a chunk off and placed it on the handrest forming the general size shape and a little thicker then I wanted.
then put my hand on it like I was playing and moved the joystick around like I was flying and gradually made slight adjustments to the clay till it felt perfect to my hand.
Very gently slid a butter knife under it to gently peel it off without bending it.
Stick it (the clay) the oven at 275 for about 15 min. Then take out and let cool for 30 min (its still kinda soft and brittle till it cools.
When it is cool its very hard.
To attach it to the stick I used "Command strips"
The kind of stuff you see on TV you can use to hang something on a wall, then when you dont want it there anymor, you just pull the tab and they peel right off.
I used one of the ones that came in a package of cord clips.
In any event. Works like a charm.
I didnt want to glue it or do anything that might permanently alter the stick.
I tried those little geuey things you roll into a ball them mash down. But I found the clay would slide on it.
This hold it in place perfectly
And if I want to make a change I can just peel it off
