Club — hit (8)
I believe the answer is:
bludgeon
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'club' is the first definition.
(I know that club can be written as bludgeon)
'hit' is the second definition.
(I know that bludgeon is a type of hit)
(Other definitions for bludgeon that I've seen before include "Bully; heavy weapon" , "Blunt instrument" , "Thick club" , "Thick stick with a heavy end" , "Strike with a club" .)
