Sphere Rolling Rotation Question

[Bagel]

Hello,

I'm brand new to babylon.js. I'm working on making a sphere roll. I have it set up to roll of a keystroke event. How I set up getting my ball rolling is:

sphere.rotation.z -= rightSpeed;

sphere.rotation.z += leftSpeed;

sphere.rotation.x += forwardSpeed;

sphere.rotation.x -= backSpeed;

These are being handled as the key is being pressed down. Obviously there is a flaw in the way I'm implementing this as I rotate my z axis to the point that when I go to turn right and left it looks similar to the earth rotating. I'm just hoping someone can point me in the right direction so that as I move forward, back, left, right (along with their combinations) that I can get the sphere to rotate in the appropriate direction.

You will love the mesh.rotate() function I guess
