Hitting the shoulders, chest, and triceps from as many different angles as possible is always a great idea for development, as well as injury prevention. In this version, the coordination does indeed get put to the test, and that is one of the reasons why this is such a powerful movement. Not only do you provide some great stimulus to the "standard" push up muscles, but you crank up your core stability and your level of neuromuscular coordination as well. Chris,

I've always put my feet up on the ball and my hands on the floor. I didn't really think about elevating my feet and putting my hands on the ball. I bet the balance and coordination really come into play on this one. That’s an awesome way to perform this exercise. I’ve always put my feet up on the ball and my hands on the floor.
