Metal objects in club with damage through use reportedly (8)
I believe the answer is:
ironware
'metal objects' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'club with damage through use reportedly' is the wordplay.
'club' becomes 'iron' (type of golf club).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'damage through use' becomes 'wear' (as in wear and tear).
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'wear' sounds like 'ware'.
'iron'+'ware'='IRONWARE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for ironware that I've seen before include "heavy goods" , "weighty equipment" , "Class of metal goods" , "For example, pans" , "Category of metal goods" .)
