A heavy ball is a term for a ball with more weight on it. It's primarily used by pitchers during their workouts or warm-ups to help increase velocity. A light ball is just the opposite- a ball with less weight on it. This is also primarily used by pitchers during workouts to help them improve.

Weigh 3 vs 4, if they balance then 8 is the odd light ball, or the heaviest of 3 vs 4 is the odd heavy ball. 3b If 7,2,12 is heavy then either 2 is the odd heavy ball or 5 or 6 is the odd light ball. Weigh 5 vs 6, if balanced then 2 is the odd heavy ball, or the lighest of 5 vs 6 is the odd light ball. 3c If 7,2,12 is light then either 7 is light or 1 is heavy.
