I heard that a tennis ball is more easily compressed so presents more of a danger to your eye?
A puck is dangerous as it has a flat/sharp side which can reach the inner eye if presented to the socket in a "biscuit giving" way. A ball is fine, it'll push your eye back but cause no real damage... mallets with protrusions are a whole different matter though and should not be allowed in play.
A cricket ball can fracture a skull, a franklin can't...
Broken nose, meh.
