Ah, I'm not sure... I was interpreting what Dimensions wrote to mean that you held on to the ball, and swung the ken, finally releasing the ball (and not the ken as you do) into a Moon Circle. (Strictly speaking, since you'd be releasing the ball, it wouldn't be a true Moon Circle, but hey, this thread's all about variations, right?)
I don't know though, maybe I'm reading it wrong, and that's what he wanted.

I had a go at "my way" earlier today and in about 40 goes got really close about 8 times. :/
