The Wood Ball Flail has a wooden handle with two spiked balls attached to the handle. The overall length of the Wood Ball flail is 17 inches. This is a miniature flail. Flail is a medieval weapon made of one or more spiked metal balls attached to a handle with a hinge or chain. There are various other names that are applied to this weapon, such as the terms morning star or mace. The flail was commonly used in Europe from the 13th century to the 15th century. Some of the confusion over this weapon may stem from its rare usage among the knighted class throughout history, which held the sword in much higher esteem. The flail is not appreciably more damaging than either the sword or mace, and is not so heavy that it needs to be swung in circles to gain momentum before striking. It is likewise not light enough to be used as a whip.
