No, these methods are very outdated, and not proven to get results, since nails are not made of the same materials that they were when this was an acceptable method. Depending on the material that the nail is made of, it can cause the very quick death of the tree.
Beating it with a bat will either cause disease from the tree having to repair so many spots, or cause it to halt growth due to stress.
Jacaranda trees are notorious for this behavior and Those actions will, further, prolong flowering, unfortunately.
