I'm sure that this was fun for all involved, but it's an experiment in much the same sense that 'is sunlight warmer than shade?' or 'are men attracted to pretty women?' is an experiment. After all, the club is roughly the same proportions as a belaying pin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belaying_pin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belaying_pin) or policeman's truncheon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baton_(law_enforcement)#/media/File:Edinburgh_police_truncheons_(19thC).JPG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baton_(law_enforcement)#/media...). 'Can a stout baton smash a skull?' is … a bit of an answered question.
Like I said, fun for all involved, but hardly ground-breaking.
