Mace

A mace is a concussive/bludgeoning weapon of a heavy metal head fixed to a long shaft.
Morgoth carried a special hammer into battle with Fingolfin that he used as a mace. The strength of the Dark Lord and the weapon made holes in the earth which led to the great Elven-king's death.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XVIII: "Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin"

=== The Lord of the Rings film trilogy ===
In The Fellowship of the Ring, Sauron is shown using a mace in his fight with the soldiers at the battle of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. He uses it to strike down Elendil, before having his fingers cut off by Isildur. This mace is depicted as incredibly powerful, much like its owner, and capable of scattering multiple opponents with a single stroke. Whether this is an actual attribute of the mace, or just a power that is channeled by its owner, is unknown. In The Return of the King, the Witch-king of Angmar uses a flail (a mace-head on a chain) against Éowyn after his fell-beast is killed.
=== The Hobbit film trilogy ===
In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Azog, Nori and Dwalin wield maces. Balin wields a cross between a mace and a sword.
Thought to have been destroyed in the great battle between Orcs and Dwarves, Azog the Defiler has come forth once more, and he will stop at nothing to hunt down and destroy every last member of the company of Thorin Oakenshield. Azog’s primary weapon is his war mace. A primitive but brutal weapon, the mace was constructed of wood, leather, cord, and rough forged steel. 
After the Company's weapons are taken by the Elves of Mirkwood, Dwalin is later seen with a mace in the Lonely Mountain, which he had acquired in Lake-town. Balin also wields a sword-mace hybrid.
