    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.

      High schoolers and up.
      Junior high schoolers might be able to handle it too if they're powerful and have a solid build.
      First of all, without enough strength you'll overshoot constantly.
      It doesn't forgive a half-hearted stroke.

      If you can handle it, the amount of spin is incredible.

      I used this on my forehand.
      The topspin drive, push, and serve are all great! You really feel like you're putting the spin on the ball yourself, which gives you confidence when you hit. Because the topsheet has good grip, short-game techniques like stops also come off well!
      If I had to name a drawback, it's that because the topsheet grips the ball so well, you get strongly affected by incoming spin on your receives, so it's not great for beginners. Also, it's very hard, so I feel like you won't really unlock its true potential unless you're at least a top player at the prefectural tournament level. In fact, I do feel like I'm producing good shots and getting opponents to overshoot, but I still feel like this rubber has a ceiling.
      Also, since so many people around me — including top players — use it, it might be hard to stand out with your own style.

      Overall, my play is really consistent with this. It gets proper spin and has speed too. Because my play stays consistent, rallies were really easy to play. I couldn't find any real drawbacks. It was easy to handle.

      I used this on an SK7 Classic. For me, the speed was fast and drives and smashes were great, but control was a bit tricky, and it was hard to put backspin or sidespin on the ball. I think it works well paired with something like Rakza X, Rozena, or Hurricane.

      A perfect forehand rubber — this was my favorite rubber. It has great control and high spin, and it's a wonderful rubber that really makes everything better.

      Reviews by user

      I'm using the thick version. It doesn't fly as far as you'd expect. Countering is easy! For topspin drives, if you sink the ball in you can hit a great shot. So I'd highly recommend it for mid-distance drive-style players!

      I use it on my forehand. Both speed drives and loop drives are easy, and the amount of spin is ridiculous lol. Flat hits are also easy, it's fantastic! Though at first I thought "wow, this really flies." Also, on rainy days it gets pretty slippery.
