Perhaps not exactly what Shad asked for, but here is a brief comparison between the impact forces produced by a short-hafted mace, long-hafted mace and a flail with identically-weighted heads.
I wish I could say that no plywood was hurt during these tests, but alas... There is possibly scope for a more in-depth analysis using flails of varying weight if there is sufficient interest. There may possibly be a 'sweet-spot' in terms of weight/length and other parameters that could make the weapon really efficient. A further thought is that its simplicity of construction may have recommended its use. If you had access to a length of chain, a lump of metal and a stick, you could make yourself a flail.
