Re: Weight of fully inflated ball

So, has anyone measured the weight of the fully-inflated ball on a device that could be considered accurate on 1-10 lb objects?
We weighed the large 2x yellow ball today and got 3.6 lbs +/- .2 lbs. If you figure on 4 lbs you'd be safe. The 2 lbs seems a bit low. Anyone else confirm this? If all else use some triple beam balances from your schools science department (they usually hold up to 1.1 kg ~ 2.3 lbs), just balance the ball on two balances and add their readings up. Or take the ball to your local Mail Boxes Etc or Post office and have them wiegh it on their scales.
