First Sketch

i sketched the arm with 2 circles at the end, the size does not matter but ensure the diameter of the inner circle is the same size or larger than the ball you will make later

Extruding

sketch a circle and put a line through the middle, then revolve around the center line. i put a hole in initially for attaching a string, and you can do this also.
