    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.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly evaluated as a standard German tension rubber with proven track record among top players and versatile performance, yet many note it requires strong impact technique and is not suitable for all player types. Durability and cost-effectiveness are central to its support.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Versatility: Compatible with drives, attacks, table techniques and more
    • Durability and longevity: Lasts longer than Tenergy or Dignics
    • Grip power: Holds the ball firmly for stability
    • Impact-dependent: Best for powerful hitters; weak contact causes drops
    • Highly rated for backhand: Excellent stability and ease of use
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveA German rubber that produces curveballs and enables various techniques like drives, smashes, and counters to be executed easily. Achieves high-level spin and speed, with excellent longevity. Recommended for students and intermediate players.
    ▽ CriticalWhen trying to add strong spin with heavy impact, the ball sometimes slides. Not suitable for power hitters. Feels like a previous generation rubber with no distinctive characteristics, making it not worth the high cost.

      Given that Morizono and, previously, Kasumi Ishikawa and Mima Ito have used it, it's a rubber whose speed and spin really live up to expectations.
      Personally I prefer the feel of the P1, but this works with everything from thin to thick blades.
      Put it on a super-fast blade and you get a speed warning, but on a blade with good control it's easy to handle, so if something like the Factive feels a bit lacking to you, definitely give this a try!

      Even coming from a tacky rubber to a tension rubber, this one is easy to handle.
      The serves get a lot of bite.
      I felt the forehand and backhand topspin drives were easy to do.
      It's sold on flea market apps too, so if you buy it and try it once, I think you'll understand just how great this rubber is.

      The spin is amazing, it's easy to get the ball to pop off, the control is great, and it has speed. This isn't an exaggeration — it's really an amazing rubber.

      Let me tell you both the good and the bad, honestly.
      I switched from a rubber called V15 Extra.
      With the V15 you hit by letting the ball sink into the sponge, but with this rubber you hit by brushing it.
      Good points
      Loop drives are easy
      Flicks, chiquitas, etc. are easy to do
      Good grip on the ball
      Bad points
      This rubber is hard, so you can't sink the ball in like with the V15, and if you can't brush it well you won't get much power.
      Also, I felt it's easily affected by the incoming spin.
      So blocking, countering, and topspin rallies are a bit hard.
      ➖Summary➖
      This rubber suits players who attack over the table, or who attack by putting spin on with loop drives and the like.
      If you want power by sinking the ball in like with the V15, I don't think this is really for you.
      Sorry for the long post.

      I use it on my backhand. Personally I think it suits the backhand better than the forehand. It's also easy to attack from the short game, and when you brush the ball on a backhand topspin drive, the spin is amazing.

      Reviews by user

      Judging without trying it?
      The reviews were so high I never felt like trying it, but
      the Shoryu I always use was sold out, so this was my first time buying it!
      It really is excellent, and I get why it sells so well!
      But I'd say it's really more of a backhand rubber...
      Personally I can do every technique better with Shoryu
      but if you're not sure what to get, this is a safe pick that won't let you down ♪

      Devil (Experience: 6〜10 years) Never seen such an honest rubber

      Reviews by user

      This is a rubber that listens to what I want to do to a degree I don't think any other rubber matches.
      The bounce isn't all that much, but it's incredibly easy to put spin on. The control is amazing.
      If you think "I want to do this," it's a rubber that lets you actually do it. That's how good it is.
      It really shines especially in the short game and close-to-the-table play.
      Personally, it feels similar to a tacky rubber, so I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to win with spin but finds tacky rubbers hard to handle.
      That said, since this rubber doesn't have much bounce, it'll probably give you a hard time in mid-to-far-from-the-table play like topspin rallies.
      But if you're someone who generates pace through spin, it shouldn't bother you too much.
      Also, it really has no quirks, so I'd recommend it to people wanting to try new techniques, people who want a stable tension rubber, and people using tension rubber for the first time!
