best mooring setup

I have been searching through older threads and have found alot of useful info, but not the solution.
I have a through the center bouy and am experiencing the usual problem of the dual pennants getting themselves fouled below the ball and chaffing on the chain. I see two possible fixes:
add a swivel above the ball, bind the two pennants together and add floats OR
make the ball act as a standard ball by hanging a very short length of chain through the ball and a swivel just below and attaching the pennants there

reference maine sails great photo post on what not to do as mooring storm prep
