yeah. as i said, its on the end of a wrist that pivots - you can actually tip it back a little so that when you open it up the ball rolls out forward on an angle and down through the lower arms. the arms don't get snagged cause they're never actually in the goal. (not that they would if they were, they're gently curved survaces, they should just slide out)
[edit] it may look big, but it is only 6 or 8 pounds. not a whole lot of weight. and it only goes that high to hook onto a bar (mechanism for that not shown, but there is a hook that clips in to the back of the claw). [/edit]
