Description
The Kick-EEZ Modified Trap pad is built for shooters who put in the rounds and want their shoulder to still feel good at the end of the day. It's molded from Sorbothane, a proprietary polymer that absorbs shock rather than just slowing it down, and Kick-EEZ rates that material at up to 94% recoil reduction. Unlike foam or rubber pads, there are no internal air pockets or metal plates inside, so it won't bottom out even after thousands of compressions. This is the large grind-to-fit version measuring 2" x 5-5/8" x 15/16" thick in black, with standard 3-1/8" screw hole spacing.
What Sets the Modified Trap Pad Apart
The defining feature here is the slightly concave, blast-finished face. That shape gives you 100% contact with your shoulder and eliminates the pressure points you get with a flat pad, which is a big deal when you're running a fixed high-shoulder trap mount. Because the pad settles into the same spot on your shoulder every time, your mount stays consistent shot after shot. Less rebound off that first shot also means your follow-up comes quicker and cleaner.
Fitting the Kick-EEZ Trap Pad to Your Stock
Grind-to-fit means the pad comes slightly oversized so you can shape it right to the contours of your buttstock for a flush, custom look. Keep in mind Sorbothane is a polymer and doesn't grind like ordinary rubber, so go slow, use lower speeds around 1700 to 2500 RPM, and avoid a high-speed tool like a Dremel that builds heat. Start with 80 to 120 grit and finish with 220. If you're mounting to a synthetic stock or you're not comfortable at the grinder, a gunsmith can knock this out quickly.
Kick-EEZ pads are made in the USA and are a favorite among trap and clays crowds for good reason. If you're wearing out your shoulder on a hard-kicking gun or just chasing a more comfortable, repeatable mount, this is a proven upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this Modified Trap pad come ready to bolt on, or do I need to fit it?
This is a grind-to-fit pad, so it comes slightly oversized and needs to be shaped to match your buttstock. You'll grind the edges flush to your stock for a clean, custom look. Many shooters do this at home with a sander, but a gunsmith can handle it fast if you'd rather not.
How much recoil does the Kick-EEZ Modified Trap pad actually reduce?
Kick-EEZ rates its Sorbothane material at up to 94% recoil reduction. The pad absorbs the energy and returns to shape instead of transferring the shock straight back into your shoulder. That means less flinching, less next-day soreness, and quicker follow-up shots.
What makes the Modified Trap pad different from the standard trap pad?
The Modified Trap pad has a slightly concave, blast-finished face designed for 100% shoulder contact with no pressure points. It's a strong choice if you shoot from a high shoulder position and want the gun to seat in the same spot every time. The concave shape helps keep your mount consistent through a long string of targets.
Will this pad work on a rifle or just a shotgun?
It works on both. While it's tuned for fixed-position trap and clays shooting, the same recoil-taming Sorbothane makes it a solid pick on hard-kicking rifles too. Just confirm your stock works with the 2" x 5-5/8" footprint and 3-1/8" hole spacing before ordering.
