The ball really is not that heavy. We weighed it in at about 85lb. which isn't as bad as our first ball, so I heard. If you really think about it though, it is just an empty shell made of plastic and aluminum. If you look at our chairman's book on our website (
www.technokats.org for those of you who don't know it), it had a picture of it being used in Kokomo bringing in the year 2006.
