Thats really neat Richard, but allow me to ask this... does it hurt? it looks like the ball is hard rubber, i could of sworn i seen those as a type of dog toy before to...

[LordRichardLeviathan]

@AndyCarnage no they do not hurt any more then any other weapon we use. In fact they hurt less. there is no deep tissue bruising like with a sword. just a bit of surface sting. They are not hard rubber they are hollow soft rubber,

[bladestormviking]

@LordRichardLeviathan yes, those are galvanized rubber dog toys. they will suck to be hit with, but i'm sure not as quite as much as straight rattan.

[LordRichardLeviathan]

@bladestormviking they are very safe currently experiment is on hold we are working of a simple description that will allow someone who has not seen one to build one. if we can do that it will be game on again

Filmed with Master Pat the other day. Trying to edit materials but computer keeps crashing. Should have misconceptions up in the next day or two. Will follow with some fighting with flail videos as well.

Nice thing about head failures with these flails is they have very little mass and are hollow rubber. they don't go far and they do not hurt when they hit you. Much safer then say a solid rubber ax head. Only failures I have had have been with flimsy buttons. All flails with sturdy buttons leather or plastic have been fine. Make buttton out of !/4 to !/2 inch plastic the size of 50 cent piece.

@LordRichardLeviathan i've fought SCA heavy combat, i'll pass thanks.

[AndyCarnage]

@LordRichardLeviathan sweet, thanks. where can i find out more about your reenactments?

Are we allowed to use tennis balls rather than kong toys?

[EastKingdomMilitia]

Perhaps, braiding the rope and cutting the vinyl hose into 3 small sections rather than one large one. Thus making it more chain like, however you would still need to rap them with the blue foam. What do you think Richard?
