My fong fits very tightly...sometimes difficult to get it on, but at least I have no worries about it falling off. I've got the P3 version for my Sigma 500 Super.
Don't think I've experienced the "floppy fong" syndrome. Mine must be a healthy specimen :) |

| Mine is not a Floppy Fong but my Flipping Flash de-Fusser Fell Front First into a Foam Filled pond Full of Fish a Few days ago. I Followed it to the First steps and Fortunately was able to Firmly Feel and Fetch the Formable Fixture From it's Flirt with Fate. I was Fortunate to be able to Finally realize that Fixing it Firmly to the Front of the Flash is something a Fhotographer should Find important. Velcro sounds like a Fine Fix to this Failure to stay Fastened Firmly. |

I've run a piece of double sided tape inside mine. Need to replace it often but it works. It's embarrassing to have your fong go rolling across the room.

I fail to find falling or floppy fongs funny, even on friday.
It's a fallacy.

I will give the velcro thing a try!
I also have a problem with a floppy Fong that likes to flop over ;)

so your Fong can't keep it up but at least it stays on. |

I got two small pieces of velcro and put them on either side of the flash and lightsphere. It goes on and off easily and with the velcro it never falls off.
Give it a try ; )

I don't have a problem with my Lightsphere staying on my 420ex I find though that it's quite heavy and it makes the flash flop down sometimes when it's facing up! But maybe you could try to wrap some tape around the top of the flash head to make it a little thicker! Duct tape perhaps?
