    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.

    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSpin is applied effectively, smash trajectory is linear, and stops are controlled well. Its greatest appeal is the ability to handle any technique on a single sheet, explaining why many players choose it.
    ▽ CriticalThin contact results in chipping and dropping balls, requiring sufficient impact. Performance significantly affected by humidity and minor oil residue, demanding meticulous maintenance and care.

      Ocean (Experience: 2〜3 years) Powerful stability

      Reviews by user

      Fastarc G1 (G1 from here on) has a sheet with very strong grip
      Because of that, you get spin on the ball without putting in much effort, and it flies in a high arcing trajectory, which made it really easy to use.
      Looks like G1 is going to be my forehand rubber from now on.
      Fantastic!

      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!!

      Nittaku lover (Experience: 4〜5 years) Been using it for 3 years

      Reviews by user

      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.

      Fastarc GⅠ (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.
