I have no problem getting a mallet to the face, I think people are missing the point here, what I'm saying is that if I do get a split eyebrow/lost eyeball/whatever, I'd like it called a foul (preferably 30 seconds for reckless mallet-to-body).
My safety is my problem but thanks for your concern, this is about the outcome (which should be ruled the same for helmet/cage wearers too). I will wear that scar with pride post game-winning-power-play.
If this isn't the case then face cages have changed polo, I wanted clarification as it's starting to feel like my head is in the way of your mallets, etc and my personal opinion is that the onus lies with the mallet wielder to keep things in check (yes, accidents do happen, it's still a foul).
