No, he doesn't use ball bearings. Did you read the thread? It's a solid bearing.
I believe I saw on rennlist that he sold his patent to Jake Raby, which linked me to the aforementioned thread.
Read page 7. Post #126 actually has photos of his prototype. On Page 17 he says he can't talk about IMS anymore because he sold the patent. This was 2012. In 2013 LN introduced the "solution".
EDIT: My bad, somehow the prior link sent you to page 9 where he talks about a DOF to set of ball bearings instead of the bushing. He was working on several versions at the time, including a grease-fed bearing.
