    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.

      Anonymous (Experience: 4〜5 years) Pretty good

      Reviews by user

      I used it on the backhand and it's pretty good — underspin lifts easily, the short game is easy, and on a 5-ply all-wood blade with some flex, it's easy to put spin on and also easy to generate speed. The downside is that it tends to chip when blocking.

      Legendary Crab (Experience: 2〜3 years) God-tier rubber, great value

      Reviews by user

      Well, if I had to sum up this rubber in one line, I'd say it's easy to use for every technique.
      Topspin drives and everything else are really stable.
      It grips a solid amount of spin too.
      That said, if you use it on the forehand, it might feel a little lacking in power.
      But if you put it on the backhand, it's really stable, makes the currently-trendy chiquita easy to do, and I think it's also great for attacking from away from the table

      Reviews by user

      I bought this because my favorite players, Morizono and Ito, use it.
      When I first got it, the surface felt a little slick,
      but that wore off as I kept using a tacky sheet and cleaner on it
      Along with the chipping issue

      My impression after hitting with it: the topspin drive is so-so, but chiquita was really easy to do.

      (´・ω・`) (Experience: Less than a year) Might work as your first tension rubber

      Reviews by user

      I picked this as my first tension rubber, and it's fairly usable.
      I'm not great at serving, but it grips spin well. For topspin drives, rather than trying to brush and spin the ball,
      I felt it was better to hit it more with a smacking motion
      I'd recommend it to people who've gotten a reasonable handle on the basic techniques

      Reviews by user

      The way it grabs the ball firmly and lets you really put spin into it is its defining feature — for me, it's an essential rubber.

      Michon (Experience: 4〜5 years) G1 doesn't give feedback to the hand — wish it did

      Reviews by user

      With G1, even when you try to put spin on the ball you end up netting it or chipping it a lot, so I think it's better to hit it more flat/meet-style rather than trying to spin it. Personally, I think it's about right for a middle schooler to use.

      Man who often forgets his towel (Experience: 2〜3 years) Might be better with flatter hits

      Reviews by user

      I bought this through mail order. Maybe because my previous rubber was on the soft side,
      I got a strong feeling that the ball wouldn't go in unless I swung through firmly.
      That said, the short game was easy to handle.
      As for topspin drives, if you swing half-heartedly the ball won't lift.
      But swing too much and it goes long. So my misses tended to scatter between those two extremes.
      (I think this is more about my arm or blade than the rubber)
      It was easy to put spin on. I'd recommend putting it on your forehand.
