I highly recommend you try it out a couple of times before you  
attempt a valuable shot.
Setting up the ball and tripod and camera an then shoot a few  
exposures is an exercise in itself and you really do not want to look  
for details then. Also consider the tutorials to remove the  
photographer/tripod out of the images you try to use. You can be  
pretty sloppy with that unless you wish to use the HDRI also as  
background. Recently I started to paint them myself with PS while  
picking colors from a single ref pic and then just paint gradients  
with the colors.... looks like a bad env map, but makes lighting  
which rivals expensive commercial 'studio' HDRI.
