    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.

      Table tennis person (Experience: 2〜3 years) Very easy to use and stable!

      Reviews by user

      This rubber gets a lot of spin and is very stable, but I found myself wanting a bit more spin
      That said, attacks from away from the table go in consistently, so I can back up with a lot of confidence!

      Sun Ying (Experience: 4〜5 years) C1<G1

      Reviews by user

      With the G1, it's hard to match the spin until you get used to it, but you'll gradually get the feel for it. It's also great for the short game, so it's recommended for close-to-the-table players. I used to use the C1, and this has way more spin than that (a good upgrade if you're moving on from the C1)
      As for drives, the loop drive has such insane spin that the way it kicks up off the table after landing is ridiculous!
      Speed drives are also easy to hit, and if you're good at putting spin on the ball, your opponent's blocks and counters will fly long!
      As for counters, this is the easiest to use out of all the rubbers I've tried, and if you practice a lot you can really polish your speed and spin!

      Dragon (Experience: Less than a year) Good spin power

      Reviews by user

      When you drive, it gets a lot of spin and it's easy to place the ball on the opponent's side of the table
      It also has good speed and it's easy to vary your shots, which I think is why
      top players use it too

      The grip is strong, so it's easy to use even with plastic balls. Drives snap and curve nicely.

      OK (Experience: 6〜10 years) Bouncy

      Reviews by user

      It has a lot of bounce.
      According to something like Nittaku's catalog, it's supposed to be slower than the C1, but I didn't feel that way.

      My main rubber is Rakza X, so that might be why I felt a difference, and I probably won't use this much going forward.

      As for spin, it's beyond reproach.
      Thanks to the grip, both serves and drives come out with a lot of power.

      I love table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) The best!

      Reviews by user

      It generates a lot of spin and good speed too. I use the thick version, and both pushes and drives are very easy to do! You can really tell it's the kind of rubber pro players use. I'll keep using this rubber going forward.

      1 Baud (Experience: 2〜3 years) Super easy to use

      Reviews by user

      The sheet grips the ball really well, and it was super easy to attack underspin balls.
      Serves bite well too, and you can vary the spin on your pushes.
      The sponge is a bit on the firmer side, so countering is easy and you get good power.

      Personally I think it suits the forehand better. On the backhand it might feel a little too hard.
      On the forehand, drives and smashes have a lot of power.

      I switched from Tenergy 05 to G-1, but I don't feel like I'm missing out much.
      The feel changes a bit, but you get used to it.

      Highly recommended‼︎
