Do they all have the same weight except for one?

I think the question is the rest of the 8 balls are the same weight. In that case you can find the heaviest in 2 tries.

First weight 4 vs 4. If they're the same => the last one is the haviest. If not, weight 2 vs 2 of the haviest 4. Then weights 1 vs 1 of the haviest 2.
