As it is I stand behind my previous comment that the drop down feature does not make for a weaker connection.
Mine didn't break at the ball it broke at the point of connection at the butterfly joint. Based on what I experienced I think a standard ball and bar design, like PR Lightning, would better stand up to a tight ball and hip joint.
