  cc wide time is another that will composite frames on top of the current frame to give a motion blur like trail. but if the ball if moving fast (which it would be unless you shot slo-mo) it may practically disapear.

  if you only wanted a trail off the ball, you might get the best results with a particle system, having the emitter/producer folow the motion of the ball and now velocity/speed o n the particles.

  andrew kramer has a few tutorials that use an emitter to produce a trail. the ipod light streak and 3d stroke w/o 3d stroke come to mind.
