Description
This is my first HDRI render.
The shadows are not so good, isnt?
How can i do it look better?

I think it looks good but you are right, the shadows don't seem right. Try a few low powered spot lights(like 10%-15%) above and to the side of the balls. Make sure GI settings are turned up as much as your PC can handle. Also, turn on the AO if you have version 9.5. Keep up the good work! :)

If you have 9.5, you could use a light set to shadow caster which adds shadows without adding light to the scene. Looks good otherwise. :)

Maybe you could post your settings, cause I can't really tell just by looking. When I use an HDRI map I get shadows even without using a light. I run version 9.

Definitely use Ambient Occlusion for this. It will raise the render time but will help ground the objects.
