World's Heaviest Twine Ball I talked with JFK, and he said that "Junior" is also made of twine. It's 47 pounds. He said that he stopped at 47 pounds because he was born on February 2, 1947. I also brought a bag with twine in it, which he graciously accepted as a contribution to the ball -- and traded me a piece of his.

JFK's Twine Ball We found JFK's Twine Ball worth the short side trip from Hwy 53. It is located on paved roads - a big plus and easy to find. I must admit, it certainly was the biggest ball of twine I have ever seen.
[D Kern, 08/31/2010]When I visited the JFK Twine Ball on June 5, 2009, I was very excited to find that JFK was home and outside working in his yard when I arrived. He introduced himself and informed us that the twine ball is now up to 19,920 pounds. Twine ball junior is 47 pounds. He also handed me a hand-written 6 page document with information about himself and the twine ball as we were leaving.

JFK is the last of the four Giant Twine Ball creators still personally enlarging his colossus. He was gracious when we met him as well, and seems to be a good ambassador for his exclusive fraternity.
