I think this is more motion blur than DOF.

try to catch that ball in front of a more even background (change perspective by tilting down and make the floor your background or open up to blur the background more) like that the ball will become the "center" of the picture. like this, it's not very exciting and very noisy by the way.

I don't know if this was planned, or just the way the focus happened to hit, but I like the way the ball almost seems to be off the page

I don't see the depth of field very well because the image is a bit grainy.
