    Most players are looking for that rubber that fits them just right. Nittaku has introduced the Fastarc series with a variety to choose from. The Fastarc G-1 has the most power of the series. It's a very direct and to the point rubber. All offensive strokes from fast drives at the table to long distance counterlooping are executed with high precision. The hardest and fastest of all the Fastarcs.

    ▲ PositiveSpin is applied effectively, smash trajectory is linear, and stops are controlled well. Its greatest appeal is the ability to handle any technique on a single sheet, explaining why many players choose it.
    ▽ CriticalThin contact results in chipping and dropping balls, requiring sufficient impact. Performance significantly affected by humidity and minor oil residue, demanding meticulous maintenance and care.

      NY (Experience: 2〜3 years) Insane

      Reviews by user

      I'm planning to keep using G-1 for good.
      What I like most is how easy it is to put spin on the ball.

      When I drive, I can clearly switch between going for speed and going for a spin-heavy loop drive.

      And on top of that, the amount of spin is insane‼️

      Mocchan The best rubber for flat hits!

      Reviews by user

      My impression after trying it:
      The sheet is hard, so you get good speed, but with spin-focused shots like loop drives it just doesn't carry at all, so it drops into the net and you need to be careful. On the flip side, smashing against pushes is super easy, so I think it's good for female players, players who hit flat a lot, or players who prioritize speed.
      That said, it's more of a speed rubber than a spin rubber, so
      it suits players who launch the ball with flat hits, but for players who drive the ball forward with spin, the trajectory comes out a bit too flat, so I wouldn't recommend it much for them.
      Summary
      Suits players who hit flat a lot
      Recommended for players who prioritize speed

      Meruhen (Experience: 4〜5 years) Totally different from Tenergy

      Reviews by user

      I often hear people say it's close to Tenergy, but to me it feels like a completely different rubber. I used it on my forehand.
      When my form breaks down and I'm trying to scrape a shot in with spin, Tenergy somehow gets it over, but G-1 doesn't have enough carry and ends up in the net.
      Drives against backspin come out flatter compared to Vega Pro or Tenergy 05. If you hit it properly you get a good ball in, but if you just tap it, it gets blocked easily. It felt like the speed ran ahead on its own.
      Flat hits and counters are really easy and fun.
      Serves spin normally too.

      Palm tree (Experience: 6〜10 years) Hard for beginners, strong once mastered

      Reviews by user

      If you don't really use your hips when you hit, it won't land cleanly on the table, but once you master it, it's a seriously strong rubber. Driving against backspin feels pretty easy. Over the table, flicks are very easy to do, and pushes land cleanly too. Its control is high, so it's easy to cut sharp angles even on drives from mid-distance or away from the table. Smashes are fast too — I'd recommend it for anyone who wants a high-level, all-round playing style.

      sarah (Experience: 11〜20 years) Pretty good!

      Reviews by user

      First-time users might be a little confused. I couldn't figure out how to get spin on the ball at first, but if you hit it so the ball sinks into the sponge a bit, it draws a nice arc and gets plenty of spin. I think it's a good rubber once you get used to it.

      King Kong (Experience: 6〜10 years) Backhand-only rubber

      Reviews by user

      I felt this is a really good rubber for the backhand. It's moderately hard, doesn't get thrown off much by the opponent's spin, and if you brush it properly you get consistent spin. That said, it doesn't have enough bounce or speed for the forehand, so I think it's best suited for the backhand side.

      It's just easy to use, period.
      Driving against backspin is really easy, and hitting flat shots is easy too. It's pretty popular, and if you're not sure which inverted rubber to pick, this should be your first choice!!
