Someone mentioned earlier that the balls were 5 lbs exactly without air.

Ah. I just saw someone said 5 lbs earlier, I should have done some research.

Air shouldn't add much.

The volume of the ball is about 4.19 ft^3
According to Wolfram Alpha, 4.19 ft^3 of air weighs .334 lbs.
2.75+.334 = 3.084

The ball with air will weigh approximately 3.084 lbs
