    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.

      It's soft, so light taps come off fast.
      Pushes and serves bite really well too.
      You can hit loop drives with it as well.
      Chiquitas are also easy to do, though they tend to run a bit long.

      The balance of speed, spin, and control is outstanding, the trajectory is wonderful, and the feel is great too.
      It has no weird quirks, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a perfect rubber.

      I tried this partly because Masataka Morizono uses it, and the control is good, the speed is there, and the spin is fantastic, so it's stable no matter whether you use it on your forehand or backhand.

      The raw performance is way above the rest, and drives draw an overwhelmingly beautiful arc,
      I also tried chopping with it, but the ball flies quite a bit, so chopping is more stable if you back away from the table.
      As for topspin rallies, like I mentioned above, the arc is beautiful and easy to keep going.
      As for lifespan, I'm still using mine so I can't say for sure, but I'd guess around three months?
      The control is also pretty decent, so why not give it a try? ^з^

      One-sided player (Experience: More than 20 years) No.1 in overall performance

      Reviews by user

      After the switch to non-glue, I couldn't really find a rubber that suited me, so I tried this one.
      As for the feel, I'd describe it as something like a Sriver EL (with glue) that grips the ball strongly and releases it quickly. The way the ball sinks in feels similar too.
      There's nothing across the whole range of techniques that's hard to do with it. If there's a downside, I'd say this is a rubber that doesn't show its true character unless you swing through properly on every technique.
      It works well no matter what blade you pair it with, so I think it's well worth trying.
      That said, I wouldn't recommend it for people with a slow swing or people who prefer softer rubbers, since I don't think you'll be able to generate spin with it.

      Hikaru-chan (Experience: 2〜3 years) Ordinary, plus a bit more?

      Reviews by user

      I bought this on my coach's recommendation. Of all the rubbers I've used, this gives the most spin and the most speed. I don't think it's quite up there with Tenergy, but it's a perfect fit for intermediate players. It looks like it wouldn't bounce much, but once you actually play with it, it really does.
      That said, you do need to get used to it. The control is a bit tricky, so if you don't practice properly you won't be able to use it well. Once you can handle it, try practicing your meet/counter hitting! When you use it in a match, you'll immediately feel that it's faster than your old rubber. Drives also draw a nice arc and really help your game. It's a rubber worth trying at least once, so please give it a shot.
      Sorry for the long post.

      Lightening (Experience: 6〜10 years) Easy to play with on the reverse side!

      Reviews by user

      It produces great spin and speed for serves and reverse-side (backside) shots with a Chinese penhold grip!
      However, since it has a lot of bounce, it feels a bit wild during the short game.
      It seems like it would feel great for someone with a strong impact/hit.
