Not necessarily true.  Consider the expertise required to properly wield  a
set  of  nun-chuks.   Along  that  line,  I  suspect  an  expertly  wielded
morningstar is probably one of the most devastating  hand  weapons  around.
Consider  the  damage  that  an expert can do with a set of nun-chuks.  Now
picture the free end converted to a  10  pound,  spiked  iron  ball.  True,
you'd need a lot of strength and dexterity to wield it ...
