Don't forget you can use the "in <time>" construct with "move", which gives
smooth motion (although I don't know just how fast you want to do it). For
example:
 
  move grc "ball" to tBallLoc in 1 second

or

  move grc "ball" to tBallLoc in 100 milliseconds

I would highly recommend using the values you have to create a graphic line
with points that is hidden, and then use:

  move grc "ball" to the points of grc "Path" in <time>

or something like that.
