I'm going to say no.
The only places I can find a staff being used to physically attack something in Lord of the Rings are when Gandalf strikes the doors of Moria in a temper
Edro, edro! he cried, and struck the rock with his staff. Open, open! he shouted, and followed it with the same command in every language that had ever been spoken in the West of Middle-earth. Then he threw his staff on the ground, and sat down in silence.
The Fellowship of the Ring - A Journey In the Dark.
And when Saruman strikes Grima Wormtounge after they have left Orthanc.
‘Get up, you idiot!’ he shouted to the other beggar, who had sat down on the ground; and he struck him with his staff. ‘Turn about! If these fine folk are going our way, then we will take another. Get on, or I’ll give you no crust for your supper!’
Return of the King - Many Partings.
Every other usage there is either magic involved or it is being used as a prop to lean on.
