My lone plant has around 10 fruit on it with all being around the size of a baseball. What I noticed yesterday that even though they are roughly the same size, some feel light as a feather while others feel much heavier. Does that mean the heavier ones are ripe enough to eat?

Each fruit should feel heavy for it's size. Another clue is the skin. It should look glossy, rather than dull. I also tend to pick mine on the small side to get milder flavor.
