    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.

      Maybe it's the sponge, but the speed is definitely there. However, the control wasn't great, and I ended up missing a lot of returns. I think it's good if you prioritize speed, but I can't recommend it if you want control.

      I actually use a blade that's already quite bouncy, and with this it bounces a ton.

      I don't think anything beats this rubber for smash speed, and it has spin too!
      It flies so much it's hard to handle!

      The sheet grips the ball well so spin is easy to put on, and if you sink the ball in, you get quite a lot of speed.
      That said, since both the sponge and sheet are soft, it's not really a forehand-oriented rubber, and short-game technique isn't that easy either.

      chiquita becomes ridiculously easy to do!!

      This is the fastest rubber I've ever used. However, it was hard to control. Still, it was good since spin was easy to put on too.

      Fast speed, and spin was easy to put on too.
      I think it works well on both backhand and forehand. I'd recommend putting it on a 5-ply blade.

      The speed is fast. Spin is easy to put on, and if you really sink the ball in, the speed gets really fast, the bounce is good. Control is a bit hard, but it's a rubber that suits advanced players.
