    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.

      Kuroganemaru (Experience: 2〜3 years) Great arc and spin, but...

      Reviews by user

      A high arcing trajectory is its defining feature.
      You get a real feeling of grabbing the ball firmly and putting spin on it, so
      if you lay your racket back and swing all the way through, you can fire off a perfect topspin drive!
      It's also solid on flat-hit style techniques, so
      you can feel confident with it. The "G" in G-1 stands for "grip," after all —
      so of course the grip is plenty good. Chiquitas land in cleanly without netting.
      It leans more toward backhand use, but the price is a bit of a sticking point.
      Of course, considering the performance and durability, that's something you can overlook.

      The serves get a ton of spin. I mainly serve forehand sidespin, and when opponents try to push it back, the spin is so strong that it usually ends up hitting the net. YG serves get a lot of spin too.

      It also has good speed and is easy to use.

      Reviews by user

      After using Tenergy, this felt harder than Tenergy. The topsheet grips the ball, but it doesn't have Tenergy's springy feel, so I don't think players without much power need to bother with it.

      Reviews by user

      For how pricey it is, this is a pretty popular rubber. I think it's worth trying at least once. It gets spin and has speed too. I'd also recommend it to beginners.
      That said, I feel it has a bit of a quirky character, so it might not suit everyone.

      For starters, topspin drives are easy to hit.
      And you can smash with it too.
      It's a really all-around rubber (^^)
      If I had to mention one thing, it's that the surface wears out a bit quickly.

      Shin Keika (Experience: 4〜5 years) I guess it wasn't quite for me

      Reviews by user

      Used on the forehand. On the harder side.
      Maybe partly because of the blade, but the spin was a bit mediocre too.
      The speed was so-so. The serves were a bit iffy?

      It also gave me a chance to rethink my own technique, so I'd recommend it to beginner to intermediate players too! I might come back to it again someday!

      It lets you perform every technique at a very high level. The grip is strong, so chiquitas and counters were easy to do.
