You are correct! The moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning the heaviest side will always face us--just like with the analogy you've given about the weight taped to a beach ball. This is a known phenomenon in astronomy. Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, are tidally locked to each other. It's likely that many of the moons of the gas giants are tidally locked to their planets, but this is not yet known for certain.
