Problem is if you're 22 inches wide, you have a 6 inch opening for the 10 inch ball. You have to balance these differing constraints.

Ultimately for a variety of reasons not limited to what's depicted in this image I've moved away from thinking about hanging at all.

In the future please don't take images off of my Facebook page and repost them publicly without asking me first. I would have been fine with it in this case, but that's not a thing you should just assume is okay.
There are many key design parameters teams may need to account for this year. Glad to see someone posted your work Chris!*


*Hopefully people ask you ahead of time in the future...
