Shank taper help

This is a ball that 1. I think I sould have left a little more fullness on the bottom of the bowl and 2. I think I need to take more off the bottom line of the shank.

Should I take everthing below the red line off? I kind of like the little curve it has under the bowl into the shank, but I don't think it fits with the rest of the pipe.

Any suggestions?
