Thank you guys do much for the positive comments. As for holding the ball tightly yes it only rests on the two forks. We did some testing and it holds it quite securely. Yes the ball will fall out if we get hit hard but we were willing to sacrifice that to keep our design simple. As for the puncher hitting center I did the math so that the puncher hits the ball dead center. Lastly this was all drawn in Autodesk Inventor. You can make it look nice like this in the view menu while in your final assembly. Then turn on shadows reflections and change shading to realistic which turns on ray tracing. Then change the scene from two lights to what ever you want.
