I photographed elephants in South Africa using a A 400/5.6 + 2XL supported by that ball head and the shots were sharp. I didn't tighten the ball head when I was shooting with a rig like that - the idea of it was to support the lens while I used one hand to hold the body and to track, and the other hand to focus and set the aperture. Imagine that, having to use your hands for focusing and setting the aperture. How did we manage?
