    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.

      In terms of spin and ease of use, this is truly the strongest rubber out there. Tenergy 05 is another spin-oriented rubber, but the G1 is softer and easier to use. That said, I felt it was a bit lacking in speed.

      Isn't this one of the top rubbers for forehand topspin drives? You can get a ton of spin on serves, pushes, and more.

      Blankman (Experience: ４〜５ years) Great spin on backhand serves

      Reviews by user

      I've got this on my backhand side, and my backhand serves spin like crazy.

      I'm not skilled at all, but when I play against advanced players, serves are the only way I can score points.
      The backspin seems to bite really well, so it makes opponents' receives and drives catch the net.

      Backhand drives and blocks are also easy to do.
      I still haven't found a rubber that suits my forehand, but for my backhand I've settled on the G1.
      It's that easy to use.

      If I had to name a downside, it's a bit heavy.
      I'm using max thickness, so for someone without much power like me it feels heavy.

      But it's easy to use, so I want to keep training so I can swing it properly.

      Iwai the Nittaku maniac (Experience: ６〜１０ years)

      Reviews by user

      Even within the Fastarc series, this rubber puts special emphasis on spin. Forehand drives are easy to hit. Close to the table it's great for speed drives and counters,
      and if you're someone who values spin-heavy play like loop drives from around mid-distance, I really recommend this one.

      Something of Me, by Me, for Me (Experience: ４〜５ years) Easy to use

      Reviews by user

      Serves, receives, drives — I had no complaints with any technique.
      It grips the ball extremely well.
      When I hit from mid-distance I felt it was a little lacking, but switching to the outer version made it much better.
      It has no weird quirks, and I think it's a very honest rubber.

      Reviews by user

      I have this on my forehand. I think it suits every kind of play, offense and defense — serves, drives, blocks, counters. And no matter what you're doing, you can really put strong spin on the ball.

      Onodera no Mi (Experience: ４〜５ years)

      Reviews by user

      Forehand drives are easy to hit, first of all. The sheet is hard and the grip is strong, so you can put a lot of spin on the ball. The power on smashes and counters is tremendous too.
