It's the flanged mace, by the way. (lemmy.world)

Mace and/or quarterstaff are my preference. Simple, not a lot to go wrong or get caught on things. Light enough to get multiple hits in quick succession.

Simple mace is the easy answer. It's lighter than the quarterstaff, and the skill transfer from baseball and pillow fights is fairly direct.

Definitely the simple mace over the flanged. Its more or less just a baton with a weight at the end.
