The ball claw was shipped in a box. Here are some words that described my first impression of the device:
So the ball claw is a one piece device with three sets of mounting screws/anchors for attaching it to a wall. The hardware is behind the cardboard that wraps around the middle emblem. The three arms, if you will, are somewhat flexible but sturdy enough to absorb a reasonable amount of abuse. The designers clearly wanted to keep it simple (the KISS principle) and succeeded brilliantly. |
Installation of the ball claw was simple. There are no directions and it's really too simple to bother with anything written anyway. If you can't install this - dude you need to hang up you screwdriver and call it quits. Here were the steps I used along with a few pictures.

For soccer balls I don't think the orientation of the three arms matters, but if you use this for a football you'll want to install it with two of the arms on the bottom. |
So far I love the ball claw. It easily hold both a size 4 and a size 5 soccer ball as well as a regulation basketball. I've provided pictures of all three at the bottom.
It gets the balls off my garage floor where they are a tripping hazard and always at risk for getting run over.
It would make an ideal present for any sports fan, especially if they have an autographed ball to display.
