It was designed to inflict physical damage on an opponent at close range. There was also a smaller version that could be held in one hand.
A bola had 2 long cords, weighted at the end. It was used,one handed, by being whirled around the head and then hurled over a distance at an opponent. The weighted cords would wrap around an opponent, either disabling or bringing him down.You could then close in for and easy kill or capture.

A bola was a device for throwing stones. Several stones were connected by strings, and one string was left free. This was the string that the thrower held while he twirled the bola around his head, picking up speed and force, before he launched it.
The advantage of a bola over a flail was that the bola could strike opponents who were some distance away, while the flail could only be used on opponents who were within arm’s reach
