Well with the option of grounding to the floor it shouldn't matter if you are loosing charge on balls. The charge will be replenished from ground. If you can at least ground to the frame, you spread the charge defecit over a larger area. Pour water in a thin glass, its going to fill up pretty high. Pour the same water in a wide cookie pan and it will end up much shallower.
