Clubs vs Maces
.
We have to be dramatic.
.
We need pit one against the other ( Clubs vs Maces) in a bitter dual to death fueled by an ancestral rivalry as old time.
.
There can only be 1.
.
Truth be told, we can have both working well together - even in the same training program.
.
What are the differences and what benefits can they bring into training?
.
Essentially, both are sticks with weights. The length and weight distribution is what separates - or distinguishes - one from the other.
.
Some might say the 'pommel' sets them apart. Well, pommel falls under 'weight distribution ' because the pommel acts as more than a stop for your hand it actually helps balance out the object you're swinging so the weight distribution is not concentrated all toward the end.
.
When you swing a club, like in a 360, you’ll feel more controlled torque. It’s about shoulder strength, grip endurance, and core stability—but it’s tight, compact.
.
The load sits closer to your hand, so you can move it faster and repeat swings with more control and rhythm.
.
In a mace 360— it's a totally different beast. That long lever means way more torque at the shoulder joint and across your midline.
.
You're forced to brace harder, slow things down, and stay locked in through your lats, obliques, and even your glutes.
