Club in Cuba terrific (3)
I believe the answer is:
bat
'club' is the definition.
(as in sporting equipment)
'in cuba terrific' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'BAT' is hidden within 'cuba terrific'.
(Other definitions for bat that I've seen before include "Wooden implement for cricket" , "Small flying mammal, may be vampire" , "Cricket implement or flying mammal" , "Flutter (eyelids)" , "Night flier" .)
