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.

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.

Very easy to handle and well balanced.
It's easy to see why pro players use this gear. Topspin drives, dealing with backspin, smashes — almost every technique is easy to pull off.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I use this on the backside of a Chinese-penhold long pips racket. Serves, receives, hitting flat, and short counter-drives that flip the incoming spin are all easy to do. Since you need to really grip the ball, it's hard to get speed out of it on the backhand side. Its strengths fade the further you get from the table. I'd recommend it for penhold long-pips players. And above all, the value for money is great. (If you mess up with Tenergy, there's no coming back from it.)

I'm coming back to table tennis after a 30-year break, so the only rubbers I have to compare this to are things like Mark V or Tackiness.
Since this is my first tension rubber and the balls are now plastic, the feel was kind of mushy and felt strange at first, but once I got used to it I was shocked at how much things have changed in 30 years — the amazing grip on the ball, the huge amount of spin, and the speed you can get even with a light swing.
People even tell me my stop shots have backspin on them, or that my basic forehand strokes have topspin mixed in.
Because the spin is so strong, drives hit from far off the table come in with a nice high arcing trajectory. It's an amazing rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Compared to other manufacturers' top rubbers, what stood out about Fastarc G1 was how easy meet-hitting and blocking are with it. For example, compared to Tenergy 05, Tenergy 05 feels like the ball sinks into the rubber too much, whereas Fastarc G1 doesn't sink in as much and feels a bit more like it flicks the ball back out. Because of that, loop drives are a little harder to do, but techniques like speed drives, counters, and flicks are all stable.

First off, it flies incredibly far
It flies scarily far
So topspin drives don't quite go in for me lol. I use it on the backhand, but
on the forehand, smashes go in feeling really satisfying
and counters are pretty easy too, plus
you can basically ignore the opponent's spin and still get it in
so I'd recommend it for the forehand
(just my personal opinion though)All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is a real gem that I'd highly recommend to players who have good ball control. When you get a clean swing, you can hit an incredibly clean-arcing, heavy topspin drive that really runs through the air.
Blocking is stable, so I'd recommend it for the backhand too, but if you can't swing properly and your timing is off, or you hit it at a weird angle, instead of an arc the ball flies in a straight line and either goes long or into the net.
Some people say it's hard and needs power, but I think even without much power, if you're good at your contact and ball control, the ball stays stable and you can bring out the rubber's performance fully.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
