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.

Mocchan The best rubber for flat hits!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I put max thickness on my forehand.
When I hit forehand shots, my first impression was that it felt hard. I'd been using Rasanter before, so the ball seemed to leave the rubber a bit quicker than I expected. That worried me at first, but I got used to it after using it for a while.
Serves and pushes grip the ball really well.
With topspin drives, it took a while to get the spin going, so I ended up hitting more flat shots than I meant to. But once I got the spin on properly, I got some really good shots.
Driving against backspin didn't suit me. Since I wasn't consciously swinging forward, the ball landed short into the net a lot, which was tough.
I only tried the backhand a little, but against backspin it grabbed the ball incredibly well — almost too well, since it flew more than I could control. Maybe the regular "thick" version would be a better fit than max thickness.
