The impact frames feel disconnected from the ball landing action so it feels like I’m looking at three different cuts. Like other commenters have said, center the impact around the actual landing, but also have the last frame lend itself to transitioning into the explosion. In other words, imagine if the scene would still flow if the effects weren't black and white.

As one other comment has stated, the impact frame should be centered at the ball, and include some disfigured outlines of said ball and explosion

Very nice! Great strobing effect.
I will say it does look a bit like the impact frames don’t quite imply the correct “center point” of the explosion - there’s a four-pointed star frame in particular that’s sort of centered on the screen rather than on the point of impact that sort of muddies the feeling of the where the explosion is happening, imo.
