Hi Isaac, It is no trick. Just a faster removal of felt, that is if you have
the correct grit 50 or 60 and fresh paper. Then finish up with fine grit
down to 240 or so. We have three widths of paddles. 1/2" ,  1",  and 2" The
1/2" can be used on any hammer, but is especially designed for bass and
angled hammers. The 1" is for inline hammers and the tenor if they are not
on an angle.
The 2" paddle is designed to be able to have the paper replaced in seconds
for a different grit and is used on straight hammers and to level the
striking point of all hammers.
My paddles are especially useful on upright actions ( the action must be
removed ) but allow the tech to develop a technique and let them use the
same on both uprights and grands.
