    Excellent Speed and Control Fastarc S1 is a soft version in Fastarc family/ The increase of control slightly reduces the speed, but the power is maintained. This rubber is recommended to the wide range of players from the beginners to the top players.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This speed-oriented tension rubber is highly praised for its excellent performance in flat hitting and smashing. However, its low spin capacity and difficulty in skill development are commonly cited challenges.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Produces high speed even with light contact
    • Extremely easy to execute flat hits and smashes
    • Strong defensive capabilities with easy blocking and countering
    • Difficult to generate spin, challenging for counter-topspin
    • Best for beginners and backhand, optimal for front-court attacking
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSpeed is generated even with light strokes, and the exhilaration of smashing is unparalleled. Flat hitting is easy to execute, and blocking and countering enter effortlessly, making it ideal for those wanting to try high-tension rubber.
    ▽ CriticalSpin is difficult to apply, and counter-topspin is nearly impossible. Control is necessary, and in tense matches, overruns are easily committed. It struggles against sticky rubber opponents.

      The speed is fast so it feels great to hit
      I thought it was a little hard to put spin on
      but well, if you swing properly you get good spin and speed both ( ・∀・) Nice!

      Like the G-1, the sponge is soft too, so it's easy to control.
      Since it's a speed-focused rubber, the spin is maybe just so-so...?
      If you hit it hard instead of lightly, you get a real sense of speed, and I think that's where you really feel what this rubber is all about.

      Only (Experience: 11〜20 years) I played with it on my forehand

      Reviews by user

      - I played with this on my forehand.

      - Some people say it's hard to put spin on sometimes, but I think if you swing properly, you can get plenty of spin on it. The speed was surprisingly fast…! If you could land a solid drive, it almost never came back unless the opponent was really skilled!

      - As for downsides, I felt like control was a bit difficult… Also, during topspin rallies, I was easily affected by the opponent's spin….

      - If you're not a fan of long topspin rallies and want to finish points quickly, I think this rubber is perfect for you!

      It's incredibly easy to smash with. It's on the softer side so control works well too. I'd recommend it for beginners and advanced players alike.

      Counter Festival (Experience: 4〜5 years) Bounces well!

      Reviews by user

      I used this because I was curious which had better performance compared to Fastarc G-1. And I noticed one thing! The speed of the G-1 in thick and the S-1 in medium thickness are about equal! And on light hits, the S-1 actually has more speed! That means, in terms of pure speed, it completely beats the G-1! But watch out — sometimes in the short game the ball just flies off unexpectedly!

      ma-sya (Experience: Less than a year) Bounces well! Pretty fast!

      Reviews by user

      On the backhand!
      At first it bounced so much it was hard to hit, but once you get used to it, you get a nice level of speed and spin!
      For the backhand drive, thanks to it being a tension rubber, the ball comes off fast right after the bounce, which means the opponent whiffs a lot more often!
