Long-handled hammer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maul

(Other definitions for maul that I've seen before include "(Of animal) wound by scratching and tearing" , "Handle roughly, batter" , "Mangle; ruck" , "Loose 10 (in rugby)" , "Heavy wooden hammer" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the LA Times.
