Kick-Eez Rocker Recoil Pad Black Tapered
The Kick-Eez Rocker Recoil Pad Black Tapered is designed to combine effective recoil cushioning with a smooth, comfortable gun mount. Manufactured from genuine Sorbothane, it helps absorb impact and vibration while its distinctive tapered Rocker profile is designed to move naturally into position against the shoulder.
Unlike a conventional recoil pad with a uniform rear profile, the Rocker features a contoured, tapered design that can help reduce snagging against shooting clothing during mounting. Suitable for compatible shotguns and rifles, its grind-to-fit construction allows the pad to be shaped to the profile of the stock. Available in three nominal thickness options — 18mm, 24mm and 28mm — it offers a choice of cushioning depth for different stock-fitting requirements.

SIZE & THICKNESS GUIDE
The Kick-Eez Rocker is available in three nominal size options on this listing. The tapered design means pad thickness varies across its profile, so measurements should be interpreted according to the manufacturer's specifications.
| Listed Size | Consideration |
|---|---|
| 18mm | Thinnest option in this selection |
| 24mm | Intermediate profile depth |
| 28mm | Thickest option in this selection |
HOW DOES THE TAPER AFFECT FIT?
Unlike a conventional recoil pad with a relatively uniform thickness, a tapered pad changes depth across its profile. This can influence how the buttstock contacts the shoulder and how the gun moves into position.
WHAT ABOUT LENGTH OF PULL?
Replacing an existing recoil pad may alter the firearm's effective length of pull. With a tapered design, the finished fit depends on the pad's profile and the existing stock dimensions.
WHICH SIZE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Measure your existing recoil pad and consider your preferred gun fit. Select the option that provides the appropriate finished dimensions rather than choosing the thickest pad automatically.
ROCKER PROFILE & TAPERED DESIGN
The Rocker design is intended to provide a smooth transition as the firearm is mounted into the shoulder.
WHAT MAKES THE ROCKER DIFFERENT?
Its distinctive tapered and contoured profile differs from the conventional flat-backed shape found on many standard recoil pads.
The design aims to combine recoil cushioning with comfortable shoulder positioning during the gun mount.
REDUCING CLOTHING SNAGGING
The tapered profile is designed to help the pad move past shooting jackets and vests with less resistance during mounting.
This can be useful in shooting disciplines where the gun is repeatedly raised into position.
COMFORTABLE SHOULDER CONTACT
The combination of Sorbothane cushioning and the Rocker profile is intended to provide a comfortable contact surface while allowing natural movement during mounting.
STOCK COMPATIBILITY & DIMENSIONS
The Kick-Eez Rocker Recoil Pad is a grind-to-fit design intended for compatible rifle and shotgun stocks.
WILL IT FIT MY SHOTGUN?
Compatibility depends on the length, width and shape of the stock, together with the existing mounting arrangement.
The pad must provide sufficient material to cover the buttstock before its outer profile is shaped to achieve the finished fit.
WILL IT FIT A RIFLE?
The Rocker may be suitable for compatible rifle stocks where the dimensions and mounting arrangement allow appropriate fitting.
CHECKING YOUR STOCK
- Measure the length of the buttstock.
- Measure its maximum width.
- Check the existing recoil pad thickness.
- Consider the required finished length of pull.
- Confirm the mounting-hole arrangement.
Professional fitting is recommended where drilling, stock modification or precise shaping is necessary.
FITTING & INSTALLATION GUIDE
The Kick-Eez Rocker is designed for custom fitting rather than guaranteed direct replacement on a particular firearm model.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
- Ensure the firearm is unloaded and safe before carrying out stock work.
- Check the buttstock dimensions and existing pad profile.
- Confirm the required finished stock length.
- Inspect the mounting arrangement.
- Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
GRIND-TO-FIT CONSTRUCTION
The pad is designed to be shaped to match the profile of a compatible buttstock. Sorbothane has different working characteristics from conventional rubber, so suitable equipment and careful finishing techniques are important.
PROFESSIONAL FITTING
We recommend professional fitting by a competent gunsmith to achieve an accurate, secure installation without damaging the pad or stock.
SORBOTHANE & RECOIL REDUCTION
Kick-Eez uses genuine Sorbothane, a specialist viscoelastic material designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy.
The material helps dampen recoil and vibration transmitted through the gun stock into the shooter's shoulder.
HOW MUCH RECOIL DOES IT REDUCE?
The amount of perceived recoil reduction varies according to the firearm, ammunition, stock fit and individual shooter.
A specific reduction percentage cannot be guaranteed for every shooting application.
DOES THE TAPERED PROFILE CHANGE RECOIL ABSORPTION?
The Rocker profile primarily changes the shape and shoulder contact characteristics of the pad. Recoil damping is provided by the Sorbothane material.
IS IT SUITABLE FOR LONG SHOOTING SESSIONS?
Its cushioning construction is intended to improve comfort during repeated firing, provided the pad is correctly fitted to the firearm.
ROCKER VS OTHER KICK-EEZ RECOIL PADS
Kick-Eez offers several recoil pad profiles to suit different shooting applications. The Rocker is distinguished by its tapered, contoured design.
| Model | Design | Main Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Rocker | Tapered, contoured profile | Smooth gun mounting and shoulder contact |
| Sporting Clay | Approximately 45° angled heel | Low-gun mounting and reduced clothing snagging |
| Trap | Concave face | Fixed-position trap shooting |
| All Purpose | Conventional profile | General rifle and shotgun use |
| Magnum | Extra-thick cushioning profile | Hard-recoiling firearms |
WHICH KICK-EEZ PAD SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
The Rocker is worth considering if you prefer a tapered recoil pad profile for comfortable gun mounting.
The Sporting Clay model has a specific angled heel, while the Trap model uses a concave face. The All Purpose model offers a more conventional profile, and the Magnum prioritises substantial cushioning depth.
The best choice depends on your firearm, shooting discipline and preferred stock fit.
