    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.

      Kusozako Namekuji (Experience: Less than a year) It is stable, but...

      Reviews by user

      I switched over from Tenergy 05 and use this on my backhand. As long as I stay close to the table, blocks and chiquitas are both easy and stable, but once I get pushed away from the table, it's hard to generate power and it gets unstable, so I felt it was a bit lacking.

      TF (Experience: 2〜3 years) All-purpose! A popular rubber

      Reviews by user

      G-1 — a few of my club teammates use it too. Given that even several pro players use it, it definitely has the performance to back that up.
      The durability is fairly long.
      Somehow I get the impression it suits the backhand better than the forehand.

      AkIYMA .A (Experience: 6〜10 years) A rubber that rivals the post-Tenergy era

      Reviews by user

      Used the thick version in the past.
      Soft for how hard its hardness rating is
      Being hard, it's easy for the short game
      Since it's not easily affected by the opponent's spin,
      receiving and blocking are also easy.
      The topspin drive is godly
      Performance good enough to see why Miu Ito and Masataka Morizono use it.
      Could this be a rubber that rivals the post-Tenergy era?

      The rubber itself is on the hard side, so you never get overpowered by your opponent's shots
      If you can get a solid impact on the ball, you get a great shot

      I think this is a rubber I can recommend to intermediate players and above

      Close-to-the-table table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) Best spin amount ever!

      Reviews by user

      I use the thick version on my forehand, but it's also easy to use on the backhand! I had the image of it being pretty hard, but when I actually hit with it, it felt soft. Serves, topspin drives, and pushes all bite into the ball like crazy! It was especially easy to lift underspin. But when I get pushed away from the table, my consistency seems to drop — that might be down to my own skill level though...
      Out of the whole Fastarc lineup, this one is really focused on spin, so it's second to none for grabbing the ball.
      I think intermediate players and up can use it. Beginners might find it hard at first, but I think it'll start to feel soft once you get used to it.

      Reviews by user

      I put it on my Zhang Jike ALC. Before I had 05 on it, and it flew on its own without me feeling like I was the one sending it, so I switched to G1 and my consistency went up compared to before. I can get plenty of speed. The spin is insane too. From now on I'm sticking with G1 for good.

      THY (Experience: 2〜3 years) All-round rubber

      Reviews by user

      Used the thick version. Decent amount of spin. Doesn't give much speed. Control is godly. Ball release is a bit slow. Durability is on the short side. I'd recommend pairing it with a bouncier blade.
