*cough, mumble* "Had to open my mouth.."

Well for lack of a better way to put it...
THEY HURT
if you get hit by them, but not to the degree that it's a real threat.
It's more like getting sucker punched. The soft exterior does a lot to cushion the impact.
At a recent 3D shoot I was slinging alongside my fellow bowmen, and hit a 3D target with a weighted tennis ball by way of experiment. The target had a small dent the size of the tennis ball, with a small rupture along one edge. The blunt trauma seemed nasty, but there was no penetrating like rocks do.

The point is however, you probably won't kill someone with this, and people don't know these balls are weighted, so they aren’t afraid of them.
'What they don't know can't...' you know the rest.

i have alot of access to tennis balls, because i live literally right next to the local "raquet club".  i can actualy walk about twenty or thirty feet from my back door to the fence of the outdoor court.  anyways, in the woods past my back yard and along the fence there are about a million old tennis balls that went out and noone bothered to fetch.  one of my freinds and i actaully snuck in to the outdoor court a while back and we tried to sling some tennis balls, but then we had to go in.  oh well, i prefer the even more plentiful rocks that are all over the place.  besides, i can't get a tennis ball to stay in the pouch of my usual sling.

When using tennis balls, I like to try the really old ones that have been sitting in the dirt for years. The fuzz comes off so they are smaller, harder, and they are grey so they look like round rocks (scare people away).
Maybe a cup shaped solid pouch would work for tennis balls.

there are a ton of those old grey ones that are good for slinging, but i can only use my split pouch slings for those kinds.  i used to only use split pouch, then i started using pouch slings, for the ease of use.

I havent made an apache slign yet, so ive no idea about how they sling; but i have found MikeGreenfield's 3 strap design is really great for tennisballs. it is 3 1inch wide pieces of nylon webstrapping overlapped to make a cup shape. if i can upload the pics i'll post them.

scratch that, while the coding is fine. upon visiting the url it asks me to log in as you, whereas normally it would show the image. this might just be a weird error, but first.... right click on the picture you want, then click "view picture or properties" use that URL if it's different than the ones you have....
hmm....
