THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION

Here's the answer that we've been waiting for... they didn't say whether or not this was inflated or uninflated. To play it safe you should assume they weighed it uninflated, so it's real weight is probably around 3.75 lbs +/- .25 lbs.

Q: How much does the 34" BIGENS Ball weigh.
A: You should have received one in your kit but, in case you do not have a scale, it weighs 3.35 lbs.

Side notes:
The calculation above for the air weight assumed that it was inflated to 30 PSI... and looking back I'm betting that's a bit too high.
And though I would never take away the number cruncher of the day award... the thickness of the ball wasn't subtracted from the volume, further reducing the quantity of air.

That's all folks.
