A morning star is composed of a short handle (roughly 1-1.5' in length), from which a chain measuring up to 2' long extends from one end. At the end of this chain is a spiked steel ball.
A one-handed flail is composed of a handle measuring roughly 1-1.5' in length, from one end of which 4-6 chains extend. Each of these chains measures up to 2' in length, and ends with a small steel, from which protrude a number of spikes. Generally, the balls at the end of a flail have fewer spikes than that of a morning star.
A two-handed flail is identical to its one-handed counterpart except in size. The handle measures 1.5-2' in length, and the chains are up to 3' long. The spiked balls on the two-handed flail tend to be slightly larger, as well.
