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.

The G-1 really is different. I think it's better than using Tenergy. It's cheaper than Tenergy but gets just as much spin, and while it leans more toward forehand use, it works fine on the backhand too. Comparing it with the V15 Extra (V) and Fastarc P-1 (P), which are the same hardness and price, with G-1 as (G):
Spin (how easy to generate): G > P ≧ V
Spin (absolute amount): G ≧ P ≧ V
Speed: V ≧ P > G
G = spin, P = speed, V = speed + counter
Recommendation level (personal opinion): G ≧ V ≧ PAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I switched from the C1 to the G1.
Compared to the C1, if you don't swing through firmly the ball tends to hit the net a lot, so it might be tricky to handle until you get used to it.
But once you can handle it, you'll find it's a rubber that gives you both strong spin and speed, so I think it's worth trying at least once.
Personally, I found loop drives and pushes especially easy with this one.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is my impression from a test hit.
It's amazing! My drives went in like crazy! And they went in with a low trajectory, landing consistently even when my form was a bit off!
I'd recommend it as your next rubber after something like Rozena!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Currently using it on my backhand.
Depending on how you hit it, topspin drives tend to fly in a pretty straight line. If you put solid spin on the ball, you can knock the opponent's block away!
For flat hits, it's really easy! Since I used to use a softer rubber, I feel the ease even more.
Blocks tend to go long a lot, so you need to line up your body and racket angle carefully.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I used this on the forehand side. It gets good spin and has good speed, so the performance was plenty satisfying. If you use it on the forehand and can swing with some real speed, you'll be able to bring out its performance and feel like it's a great rubber. If you use it on the backhand, or if you can't swing very fast, you might notice how hard the rubber is. The value for money is good too, and it's a rubber I'd like to keep using.

Almost everything is easy to do with this rubber.
Topspin drives get good spin and come out pretty fast, and it's also easy to lift backspin balls.
Topspin rallies produce a nice high arc, so I never really felt like I was going to miss.
Blocking on autopilot often went long, but once I set my racket angle properly it became consistent.
For serves and receives, I could put more spin on my serves than with the V15 Extra I used before, and it's also easy to keep them short.
For the short game, the way it pops the ball off left a good impression.
Among those, I especially liked being able to actively put my own spin on the ball.
If you have the technique to brush the ball properly and enough swing speed, you can get enough spin to pop up most opponents' blocks into easy chance balls.
One thing to watch out for is that it's hard, so unless you're quite advanced you probably won't be able to use it well on the backhand.
The price is a bit high, but I think it's worth trying at least once!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I think anyone who can swing reasonably well will find this easy to use. First, despite the rubber's hardness, the ball sinks in well, so you get a real feeling of controlling the shot yourself. It also has good grip and doesn't bounce too much, so it lets you put the ball in reliably no matter what stroke you're using. I used to use Hurricane, which meant a lot of pure brushing strokes, but I switched to this without any discomfort.
Backhand techniques are easy — flicks, chiquitas, stops, etc. are all easy to put good spin on thanks to the hardness and grip.
That said, the trajectory is a bit straightforward, which makes it easy for me to hit but also tends to give the opponent an easy ball to handle.
As for serves, no complaints at all!
For women or players who aren't very confident in their power, the C-1 might be a better choice since it's easier to get spin on, but this is definitely a rubber worth trying.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
