Re: Best Pad Replacement Materia?

There's no reason why you can't use leather pads instead, these are much more durable than skin pads and easier to fit as well.

Cork pads are the most difficult to fit for a novice as they have to be seated perfectly due to them having very little give, and if slightly open they won't close under finger or spring tension like the squishier leather pads.

Personally I like cork pads best as they are more precise in operation and perfect regulation can be achieved, and will outlast the other two types, whereas skin or leather pads have a certain amount of give in them.
