    Well first of all, nothing "weighs" 0.2 kg.

    The "kilogram" (kg) is a unit of mass, not force.

    Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

    During the short time the ball was in contact with the clubface,

    the force on the ball averaged

    (0.2 kg) x (41 m/s²) = 8.2 newtons (about 1.84 pounds).

    After the ball left the clubface, it stopped accelerating.
