When to choose it

The Apprentice pad works when you want a compact playing surface you can raise to a repeatable height. It has a 7-inch gum-rubber face and an 8 mm threaded insert. Check the fitting on your stand if you already own one.

Compare it with the 6-inch RF6GM if carrying size matters, or the 10-inch Attacktile if you want more space and a firmer contact layer. This listing selects the single Apprentice pad. The 7-inch size and documented fitting are the details to match.
