2) You see the problem? With a decent sized head, the handle is too short to be used effectively. With a decent sized handle, the head is too small to be properly effective. 1) Ah, right, forgot about that.

2) True....although, that's because the haft collapses into itself and becomes effectively half as long as it originally was. According to Hookshot, 15cm in that form, including the head. That's likely the problem, the already-not-so-long haft becomes even shorter.

Also, looking at it again, the spikes of the flail also retract in that form.....it's not a morningstar then. Just a mace.

And looking at it again.....isn't the 1st form designed for easier carrying, not for combat? If so, the problem becomes a non-problem because the weapon wouldn't be meant to be used in that form.
