[QUOTE="Jackinthegreen, post: 6022882, member: 6678119"] You're asking what's the difference on a forum for a game that is notorious for being inaccurate? Alrighty then. [URL="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/club"]Club - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary[/URL] is the dictionary entry for club and [URL="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mace"]Mace - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary[/URL] is for mace. As you can see from those definitions, there is something left wanting. So here's the gist of it: A club is almost always wooden and almost always tapers down instead of having a true "head." A baseball bat is a good example of a club. A mace, however, is almost always metal and almost always has a definite striking head and no taper. The head usually has radial symmetry which means you can hit however you like which is what differentiates maces from typical hammers that have a distinct striking area. A croquet hammer is a hammer, but if you attached the head where the strike usually happens so that the cylinder is upright then you'd essentially have a wooden mace. [/QUOTE]
