Item Description Error

There is a description error for either this specific flail, or else all flails.

I have included an attachment so you can look at the specific text it gives. But in short it gives a description of a nun-chuck, not a flail.

The flail description is probably chosen to distinguish it from morning star and ball-and-chain - so it's more an agricultural flail than a military one.

I don't know about others, but I cannot make anything out of that image you attached. It's completely pixelated and illegible.

Then that's still an easy fix.

You could have it say- "A long wooden shaft connected to a shorter heavy wooden bar by a short chain."

Because current desc. seems to indicate that the two bars of wood are of the same length/weight.

From what I've looked up the peasant flail is like a half staff attached to a chain or two to a thicker, shorter club-like piece of wood.

Weird. Sending images seems to always be an issue.

Yeah the forum reduces attached images to that tiny size, it's basically useless.
