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.

Short pips × Inverted rubber (Experience: ２〜３ years) A crowd-pleasing rubber

After using it, I felt it's pretty much a rubber for everyone. It gets a good amount of spin and I found it easy to control. At the school I used to attend, quite a lot of people used this Fastarc G-1. I'd recommend it to everyone, from choppers to drive-dominant players to all-around attackers close to the table. My only gripes are that it's a bit hard to generate speed with, and I felt it might have the least durability in the whole Fastarc lineup.

These are my impressions after borrowing a few of my friends' rackets and hitting with them.
This rubber's appeal really splits by person. Some people say it's better on forehand, and others say the opposite. I personally prefer it on backhand
Also, its character changes a lot depending on the blade. It's not simply about whether it's all-wood, inner-carbon, or outer-carbon — it really varies piece by piece. Among the ones I tried, the Septia Carbon was easy to handle and got great spin. I think a blade with a bit of ball-holding feel works well (others like the Swat, for example)G-1... true to being a grip-type rubber, it puts a lot of spin on the ball. That said, brushing shots on the surface can sometimes slip (well, I normally use Rakza X, so...)
Also, flat hitting is really excellent with it. Both the feel and the control are outstanding.
It handles other detailed techniques competently too. However, with drives and similar shots, if you don't get a solid impact the ball drops short (especially on the backhand). The arc is high, so it's easy to control.It's a rubber that appeals to just about everyone. If you're not confident in your impact, I think the C-1 would be a good choice

It handles every technique competently.
It's on the harder side, so the short game is easy too.
As for drives, when you get a solid hit on the ball, you get an incredibly good shot.
Also, since it grips the ball well, switching between speed shots and loops is easy.
For flat hitting techniques, I personally found it easier and more powerful than the S-1.
(The S-1 is softer, and the ball sank into the sponge in an odd way that made it harder to use.)
The arc is high too, and it's nicely stable ○
If I had to name a downside, it's that it's sensitive to incoming spin, and control takes a bit of getting used to.
To sum up, this is a good rubber I can recommend to anyone who plays an attacking, drive-oriented style.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Loves tacky rubbers (Experience: ２〜３ years) Doesn't bounce much, but amazing!

Comparing it to Rozena
The sponge felt harder than Rozena's
As for how easy it is to get spin on, I think Rozena is better
But this rubber's ceiling is higher, and serves bite really well too
But unlike Rozena, it doesn't bounce much, so if you want speed, I think S-1 is good
But if you pair it with a bouncy blade, you get plenty of bounce and plenty of spin —
since you can have both,
if you prioritize spin, pair it with a plywood blade and either keep the bounce down or leave it as is
if you want both, I'd recommend pairing it with a carbon blade
I'd be happy if this helps as a referenceAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Basically, if you're a drive player who's been playing table tennis for about two years, this is the rubber I'd just tell you to use — it handles every technique well, so I felt it's a good rubber that makes table tennis fun.

The grip is amazing.
I think both speed and spin are great.
I used to have it on both sides, but I switched to C-1.
Still, once you've experienced the grip of the G-1,
you can't help but want to go back to it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Since I was using Bryce Speed before this, I could really feel what Fastarc G-1 brings to the table by comparison.
It doesn't fly too much, so control on chops and serves really shines.
Also, the spin performance is so good that the ball travels on trajectories you wouldn't believe, from places you wouldn't believe, to places you wouldn't believe — it's like the ball gets sucked right into the table.
It also has more bounce than a dedicated chop rubber, so lobs are easy too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
