It's much more natural for a hamster to drink from a bowl rather than licking a ball bearing! Bowls are more hygienic & easier to clean.
The size & depth of the bowl is quite important, nothing too large & a height that is easy for them to drink from.
ETA I forgot to say if you decide to try a bowl it's best to use both for a while & see how your ham gets on rather than just doing a straight swap.

Ive got a tiny food bowl would that be okay to use?
