I did the cloth water in 10.5, but I think it works the same in 9.5. Make a grid, I used 60x60 with 5 cm spacing. Group the inner CPs for the cloth, leave the outer row of cps to anchour the cloth. In the CHO/muscle mode, select the cloth CPs and control click, for Macs, Cloth Wizard. I leave the cloth settings at the defaults: I don't see any difference with changing them anyhow, but in the CHO properties/dynamics, set the y value to "0" so there is no gravity. Start the ball above the cloth and lower about 1/2 way, to give the cloth time to react and move out of the ball's way. Then move the ball along the cloth. Now run the Spring simulation.
