For a pentration based time-stepped system like ODE, that's the typical 
solution. An alternative is to turn the ball into a capsule (ccylinder) 
for the arc it travels during the frame.

Some newer systems being built for next-generation consoles and PC games 
are attempting to do continuous-time systems, where penetrations are not 
allowed. That's not the kind of system that ODE is, though.
