To make the ball move more 'real' to the left or right, first in the Layers palette you need to reduce the Opacity of the Background Copy Layer, then hold down the Ctrl key and shift the Background Copy Layer to the corresponding side accordingly. . After you're done, leave the 100% Opacity value as it was (see Figure 3).

Use the Erase tool with a large brush stroke (60 - 70), 20% Opacity, Flow 20% -30% and erase part of the Background Copy layer at the edge of the ball wisely. After a bit of time you will get a pretty moving effect for Teamgeist ball.
