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 have this on the reverse side (backhand).
This rubber grips the ball surprisingly well
and it's really easy to generate spin.
It's easy to control.
But the speed is more of a so-so feeling.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

This is a rubber that a wide range of players can use, from intermediate up to top-level players.
The bite on serves is outstanding
Drives have a high arc and are easy to land.
It's also recommended for players with a varied technical game, like Waldner.
Even from away from the table, you can hit spin-focused drives that won't lose out in power.
The downsides are:
The rubber is soft, so it suits players who have the strength to hit hard.
At a list price of 6000 yen, it's a somewhat pricey rubber.
Advice:
For players who want to hit drives strong enough to win tournaments with this rubber, I'd recommend either the thick or max-thickness versionAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Racket recommended use MA LONG 5 (LG TYPE)

Choppers should use the thick-to-medium version with a sponge that doesn't float easily. (This excludes players who attack on the forehand and chop on the backhand.)
- Technique breakdown
Drive: Even if your contact point varies, it still draws a nice arc, so it's stable. (Watch your racket angle!)
Short game: It doesn't bounce much if you just tap it, so techniques like pushes and stops are stable.
Chop: It's stable against slower drives and the like, but against faster drives you need to chop it almost vertically or it will go long.
Block: It's stable, nothing unusual.
Curving long serve: It's easy to brush, so it curves a lot.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Front-court combination style (Experience: ２〜３ years) A solid choice, as expected

All I can say is, it's just that good lol
Meet hitting, drives, chops, bring it on. It's to the point where every technique makes me feel like I've gotten better, which is honestly an illusion lol. Serves come out with insane spin too.
That said, I don't think you should jump straight to the G1 — I think it's better to try the C1 first, and then move on to something like the S1 or P1. I found it a bit too hard, so I'm planning to switch to the C1.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I use this on both sides
The ball sinks into it nicely, so drives are stable, meet hitting and smashes are easy too, and on the backhand, chiquitas and flicks are easy to do
I think it's a really good rubberAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use Garaydia ALC

You can get spin and speed without having to swing that hard. In fact, I think this is a rubber where you get more power by not swinging wastefully. So it's incredibly strong for the short game, chiquitas, and close-to-the-table play. It might suit players who like to play smart.

I'm using this on my backhand side.
When I tried a chiquita with it, I got an insanely sharp chiquita out of it — even I didn't quite understand what had just happened (;゚Д゚)
Also, even with a bouncy blade, if you return the ball with a solid spin on it, you get an incredibly heavy ball. Blocks are the same way.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
