Yes, your machine that holds a billiard ball for one clock period would be a good analogy for the DFF.

You mention animating Nands. If you are trying to understand what is going on inside the DFF, check out this site.

It has live circuits that you can poke at and watch how they work. I suggest starting at the top with Nand Latch so that you will see how the parts go together to make the DFF.
