    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.

      Comparing it to Tenergy 05:
      Spin: Tenergy 05 > Fastarc G-1
      Speed: Tenergy 05 > Fastarc G-1
      Stability: Fastarc G-1 > Tenergy 05
      Ease of blocking and countering: Tenergy 05 > Fastarc G-1
      So there are a few areas where it falls a bit short of Tenergy 05, but I don't think it's inferior when it comes to the affordable price or powerful drives, so I'd call this a high-level rubber.

      one piece (Experience: 4〜5 years) Wow~

      Reviews by user

      The spin is amazing!!! Loop drives are easy too, it's a really good rubber! The downside is that it's pretty sensitive to incoming spin. Also, it doesn't quite have top speed. Other than that, no complaints!

      T - Yoshida (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to drive

      Reviews by user

      Drives are extremely easy with this rubber. In particular, the sheet grips the ball so well that even heavy backspin balls come up easily. Serves bite really well too, since the sheet is hard. I think it's a really good rubber!!

      I've been using this for three years now. Loop drives, flat hits, all kinds of techniques are easy with it. It's hard, so you need power to really dig the ball into the sponge, but once you do, the ball comes off really fast. I've tried other rubbers, but I always end up coming back to the G-1.

      Among spin rubbers, this one is especially easy to put spin on, and it gives your drives real power. The grip is also amazing, which makes chopping easy, since you can lift even heavy backspin.

      FASTARK G I (Experience: Less than a year)

      Reviews by user

      I put this on my backhand and the backhand drives are absolutely nasty. It might sound weird coming from something I've had for about 11 months, but I think it's a really great rubber. Pushes grip the ball well, drives are easy, and it feels like it works whether you're close to the table, at mid-distance, or further back. The speed is amazing too
      Blocks land on the table solidly,
      and chiquita is fast with great spin and easy to pull off. A rubber I highly recommend.

      TIBHAR Super fast

      Reviews by user

      It was way faster than I expected. The arc is neither high nor low — kind of middling. I'd say it's on the lower side for a modern spin-oriented tension rubber these days. So if you like a harder rubber, I'd recommend putting it on your backhand.
      Drives against backspin: Because it's fast, speed drives go in more reliably than loop drives.
      Topspin rallies: A single shot packs a lot of power, though it can be a bit tricky to control.
      Hitting flat: Not very affected by incoming spin, and fast.
      Stop: If you relax your grip a little and hit right after the bounce, the ball stays low and short.
      Push: Very fast, and opponents seemed to struggle with it. Send it deep to a good spot and it can go untouched.
      Flick: Nicely unaffected by incoming spin, easy to use.
      Chiquita: It grips well and is fast, so it's stable whether you're going for spin or speed.
      Block/Counter: Opinions seem to be split on this. I personally like that it's not very affected by incoming spin.
      It is technically a spin-oriented tension rubber, but the ball comes off it quickly.
      If you're confident with your backhand, I think you'll be satisfied.
      It also suits the forehand of female players well.
