If you want to look at it strictly from a physics POV, use momentum equation. More mass with same velocity = more momentum. More momentum is more force so bigger hit. For example a ping ping ball that weighs 3 grams flying at 40mph is going to hurt alot less than a baseball which weighs 150g flying at that same speed.
