Default Confused about Ball Links for push rods

I hate bending pushrods cause I never get the right legnth. I have been using the great planes ez lock connectors. The ones that have the pin that gets a metal backing like an earring. Then the pushrod goes into the hole and screws down.

Meh, here is a link to what I am talking about but I am sure you guys know.

But I see a lot of these "ball links" like the one below but just by looking at the picture, I dont see how they attach to the pushrod and the servo arm. Someone wanna clue me in? Maybe a picture of one actually installed?

I had an ez lock come off before. It only happened once and I found it on a pre-flight check, but I am kinda worried about using them again.
