Dodo scale
« on: September 03, 2007, 10:35:46 AM »
This is a very stupid question but how do you tell the weight of the ball on the dodo scale.  I am not talking about the side/finger/thumb/top/bottom, i am talking about the actual weight.

I am confused if i put the pounds bar and ounces bar in the middle they are in a neutral position so i should not add that to the weight?

Please walk me through this thanks.

The rear bar is the only one you need for gross weight.  The front bar is for imbalances.  

Full stack of weights and the rear bar more towards the center is 16# I think.

The procedure in the link below gives you everything you need to know (and probably a lot more than you WANT to know) about weighing a ball for gross weight and imbalance.  --  JohnP
