I'm curious about how to make a flail using the current tech, as opposed to the Belewiki tutorial which is just god awful.
I've made a few that I was thoroughly unhappy with, and now I want to do it right. The things I've had the toughest time with so far are the dingleberries which still tear off after every incident of contact, and being confident that the flail fully conforms to the rules. I'm still unclear on what 15" on separate axes means, exactly. Can it be defined as there being no portion of the flail head that a 15" long string can be wrapped around, or more vaguely that a 15" long string cannot be wrapped around the head on the x, y, or z axes while originating from its center of mass?
What other little tips will make my life easier, and my flail last longer? After searching through some threads I noticed Big Jimmy said to put carpet tape on the foam innards of the head so it will stick to the inside of the bag and not shift around, and thought that was good to know. Anything more like that would be greatly appreciated.
