Heavy Flail as an Exotic Weapon

[Noldor Elf]

At the moment the Heavy Flail is listed as two-handed martial weapon dealing 1d10 dmg with 19-20/x2 crit.

Would it be balanced to allow it to be used one handed with exotic weapon feat (just like bastard sword or waraxe), probably adding Great Flail (1d12, 19-20/x2 two-handed martial)?

The heavy flail also gives disarm bonuses and can be used to trip. That make is better than the bastard sword. However, if you change its critical threat to 20/x2 then I would say OK. This makes it a slightly larger version of the normal flail.
