I tried it without a ball. IMO, it enables you to start the downswing from the back foot toe instead of the heel. That is a good position for a hard hip rotation. In addition to hip tilt and weight shift. When the back foot is parallell to line of flight, It's harder to rotate the hip.

Just my 2 cents.
