club-shaped

My comment:

What shape is a Keule/club? - as it's impossible to know exactly what is meant here (in terms of the shape), I think it is legitimate simply to give a straightforward literal translation and hope that the reader knows what shape to imagine.

The asker's comment:

Yes, my thought too. Thank you for the confirmation.
