Surface modification tools

  • Abralon Pads
    • Abralon Pads are manufactured by a company out of Finland named Mirka. These are considered the gold standard of surface adjustment tools, and are used by most ball companies. These sandpaper pads have sandpaper on one side and velcro attached to the other side. These pads are 6" around and come in grits ranging in 180, 360, 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 grit. These pads come into prominence by use of the Ebonite Corporations. Fun Fact: Only Ebonite can get pricing on these at discounted levels and have access to different grits than the public has access to.
  • Scotch Brite Pads
    • Standard Scotch Brite pads are also a good alternative for adjusting surfaces. While not as consistent as Abralon Pads, do a pretty good job overall. They have different grits based on color: Grey pads are 600, Maroon pads are 800, and Green pads are 1200.
  • Trizact Pads
