Going all out. Full force. Maximum speed.
Its not entirely clear where the phrase originated, but most sources locate it as stemming from military aviation somewhere between the Korean and Vietnam wars. The throttle in many fighter plans are topped with a ball and presumably to get maximum power you push it all the way to the front of the cockpit (also known as the firewall). Thus going all out is going "balls to the wall."
This is a blog about living full-force. Balls to the wall in all that you do.
