Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Tom Bishop: Not in this context. Example of the illogicality of English; "ball bearing" can mean either bearing using balls in the raceway or one of the individual balls. Logically, it should be "bearing ball". Here, no bearing involved; ball used to mix contents.
