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.

I'm using MAX on my forehand.
My drives land deep on the table properly. And they're stable at the same time. Both spin and speed are more than enough.
The short game is flawless too. The grip is strong, so I found it easy to control.
The only downsides are that sometimes the ball doesn't drop when hitting from below the table level, and if you take too much power off the shot, the ball drops short.
It's perfect for players who hit meet-style drives close to the table.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Right now, players like Masataka Morizono, Ito, Kenta Tazoe, Koho Kimura, and countless other top players use it and keep performing well and racking up results — that's its biggest appeal. I heard Kasumi Ishikawa used it in the past too, and I really felt it has that level of performance. Using it on the forehand, I'm very satisfied with the power and control. On the backhand it felt very stable! Smashes depend a lot on swing speed, so it tests your skill. Drives go in with a bit of a slipping feeling if you brush the ball, but they still land. If you let the ball sink in, you get both speed and spin. Also, for close-to-the-table play, it goes in whether you hit it flat or brush it. Chiquita was easy to add variation to with this rubber, which was great! Blocks were also easy and it felt like the ball stayed on the table — a really good rubber! If it's a Nittaku rubber, I'd say this is the best one! I think the strength of this rubber is that it lets you achieve both offensive and defensive skills at a high level. The rubber itself doesn't bounce all that much, so for men, a blade with more spring is probably better. That said, it's easy to use with any blade. Even with a springy blade, blocking was still easy. Also, now that a MAX thickness version is available, I feel like the range of players who can use it has widened.

Before this I was playing with Tenergy 05. The rubber is good, but I can't grip the ball well. Of course that's just personal preference. Maybe it's just me, but it feels dead compared to Tenergy — it wasn't good for me, but it has good pre-form and lasts longer than Tenergy 05, so it lasts longer than Tenergy 05. If it were me, I'd choose G1 over T05.

Personally it feels a bit hard to me. If you swing through properly, it flies well. It gets a decent amount of spin too. It's light and lasts a long time, so I'd recommend it.

It's pretty sad that the price keeps going up lately. But it's still good value for money, so I'd recommend buying it before it goes up any more. It's easy to use on both forehand and backhand, so give it a try. It's one of the go-to tension rubbers, so of course it's easy to use. I think even beginners could start with it. Personally, I think G-1 on forehand and C-1 on backhand is the best combo.

I used to use Rozena. This one's harder than Rozena, but I could use it without any discomfort.
It gets good spin too, I think it's a good rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is a comparison rating Tenergy 05 as an 8.
It can't beat Tenergy 05 in speed or spin, but G-1 wins on ease of putting spin on the ball and control.
Max seems to let the ball sink into the sponge more than thick does, so it's easier to use and gives more power on the ball too.
Against a heavily spun ball from the opponent, if you try to catch it thin with just the sheet it slips and drops, but if you let the ball sink in and hit through it, it goes in properly.
I'd say it's more of a long-lasting rubber suited to intermediate players.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
