Hard Mooring ball problems wacking hull

Appologetically, this is a mooring ball question,not a engine question.

I have a Taylor T3c hard mooring ball with a 500lb mushroom, 20 ft of
3/4 chain a swivel, 25 ft of 1/2 chain and a 1 1/2 inch nylon pennant
which is 15 feet long, followed by 2 6 ft long 3/4 inch hose covered
pennants to on deck cleats.

I more in a river near the channel. The problem I am having is that
due to current stronger than wind, the mooring ball often wacks against
the hull. I can't put shorter pennant because the water i am in can reach
over 30 ft in depth, and I don't have the room for more scope, or
shorter chain.

Does anyone know of a method for covering the hard ball to alleviate
the hull / paint damage caused by the ball wacking the hull?

Thanks

Much appreciated
