    All new for 2015 is the Nittaku Fastarc P-1! Solely designed for the polyurethane ball, this rubber has the best of all worlds from Nittaku's most popular and best selling rubber series - the Fastarc! Designed for close, mid & far distance play from the table it has the same soft strong sponge that has made the Fastarc Series of rubbers a fast, spinny and powerful rubber yet easy to control. The sponge uses the same medium hardness as the Fastarc G-1 but is super lightweight at 37.5 degrees. The pimple diameter is the same as the Fastarc S-1 and the gap between the pimples is slightly larger than the Fastarc C-1. The Nittaku Fastarc P-1 is for the player that wants to create spin, speed, power & precision while creating artistic shots!

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The Fastark P-1 is highly evaluated as a speed-focused rubber with excellent performance, particularly on the backhand. However, dealing with backspin and mastering loop drives require technical skill, and it is consistently noted as a rubber that is selective about its users.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent speed drives with low, linear trajectory for aggressive play
    • Highly rated for backhand use, especially impressive counter-attack power
    • Enables precise short-range techniques and chiquita shots
    • Backspin response and loop drives require advanced technique and stamina
    • Performance evaluations vary significantly depending on player skill level
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveIdeal for players who compete with speed. The push-rub drive works best with excellent control, and unlike G1, it eliminates unpredictable errors, making it potentially superior to G1 for skilled users.
    ▽ CriticalBackspin drives fall very easily, requiring higher swing motion that demands considerable stamina. Difficult for beginners; this rubber tests the player's technical abilities.

      Ryusuke (temporary) (Experience: 6〜10 years) Why is this so underrated?

      Reviews by user

      It performs well enough that I don't understand why it's so under-the-radar. The spin is slightly weaker than G-1's, but in exchange it's easier to flick the ball off and it produces speed more readily. Depending on your playing style, I think this rubber can outperform G-1. I'd recommend it to players who use a lot of flick/hit shots.

      Every one (Experience: 4〜5 years) Not inferior to G1 at all!

      Reviews by user

      I use G-1 on my forehand and P-1 on my backhand.
      I used to run P-1 on my forehand too, but it suits my backhand better, so for now I think I'll stick with this setup without changing equipment...
      On paper the arc is lower than G-1's, but it can surprisingly produce a high arc too, and I think it's easier to control than G-1.

      This is a rubber that really tests your own ability. It's about as easy to handle as they come, but I get the feeling it'll clearly suit some players and not others.

      It's a fast, easy-to-use rubber that's easy to hit even from far off the table. It's a bit pricey though, so it's fine if you have some money to spare, but I wouldn't really recommend it for beginners.

      My first impression was the spin. When you hit a speed drive with it, you get insane shots that combine both spin and speed.
      That said, once it turns into a rally, the speed inevitably drops off, making it harder to land a finishing shot. Serves bite really well, and knuckle serves were very easy to produce.
      On the backhand side, the chiquita was insane. It got so much spin that opponents couldn't even take it.
      It has so much bounce that I'm still hitting a lot of shots long.
      Lastly, the thing I personally liked best was the counter. Just flicking it on the forehand produces tremendous speed.

      Far star Ark love human being (Experience: 2〜3 years) Unmatched ease of use and speed

      Reviews by user

      I tried it on both my forehand and backhand. If you're after pure speed, I highly recommend this one. It also gets a decent amount of spin. I'd recommend using it on the backhand — even people who normally can't generate speed on the backhand will find it easy with this rubber. Definitely give it a try.

      I guess this is one of those rubbers that really flies off the blade — it's pretty fast. I have it on my backhand, and at first both my chiquita and blocks were flying long and not landing, but you get used to it the more you use it.
