Ball End Shower Arm Shower Head Installation (Adapter)

This video is for people who have a BALL END SHOWER ARM in their shower AND do not wish to replace the entire arm.
Though you could probably learn something even if you have a standard 1/2'' inch male shower arm. I learned a lot from many hours scouring the internet.
I decided to share it with all of you in the hopes of saving someone the pain I experienced. Just try to find a Shower Head now-a-days that says it fits a Ball End Shower Arm. It's not gonna happen.

Question:
"𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘳𝘮 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘦?"
Answer:
Replacing the shower arm is a perfectly acceptable option but can pose its own problems. Being in an older home is one of them. No plumbing skills or knowledge. What if you break something? Maybe you don't own a large enough wrench or a spare shower arm. This is simply an alternate solution. It's nice to have multiple solutions to a problem.
I believe MANY people agree with that. The comments section and the likes on this video are proof of that.
