Line 9:
Compare [[Informed Ability]], when someones is ''said'' to have the Smart Ball in terms of a certain field, but it's rarely demonstrated, or [[Good With Numbers]], when a character is suddenly endowed with math skills. Contrast [[Hidden Depths]], which is what this often comes across as. See also [[Dumbass Has a Point]], for what can be a reaction to this. When a character consistently picks the ball up when it comes to specific subjects, he's a [[Genius Ditz]]. If the ball is limited to crises or combat situations, he's a [[Crouching Moron Hidden Badass]]. This trope is a relative of [[Sanity Ball]], [[Snark Ball]] (which is about wit rather than intellect), and the [[Opposite Tropes|opposite]] of [[Idiot Ball]]. [[Advantage Ball]] is a distant cousin. See also [[Bat Deduction]].
