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 used this on my backhand. The rubber grips the ball so strongly that the arc gets ridiculously high. It turns into a drive that suddenly drops like it's falling off a cliff. Blocks turn into balls that seem to stab straight into
the opponent's court. And the technique that was easiest to pull off with this rubber was the serve. It bites in incredibly hard. It curves so much that opponents whiff on it maybe one out of every five times. But if someone without a proper swing uses it, it just becomes a rubber that bounces around uselessly, so I'd recommend it only for players with at least a year of table tennis experience.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Spin, speed, and control are all top-notch, making this a well-balanced rubber.
There's nothing hard to use about it, and I think it's an excellent rubber.
If anything, it suits players who dig the ball firmly into the sponge rather than just brushing the surface.
The sheet isn't hard either, so I think players from around junior high age can use it at full performance.It doesn't pick and choose which blade you pair it with.
It works well with both wood blades and special-material blades.The lifespan isn't very long.
With practice of 2 hours, 2-3 times a week, I think two months is about the limit for maintaining performance.
As it wears, it's inevitable that the rubber surface gets rough, but on top of that I feel it starts picking up moisture more easily.
The sheet also starts to harden once it's past about three months.The difference from a fresh sheet is pretty noticeable, so if you're swapping it out before a match, replace it at least two weeks ahead.

The short game is easy to do, and the drive draws an arc so it stays consistent. Also, if you apply booster, it starts to feel like the Tenergy 80.

These are my impressions from trying this rubber on an acquaintance's racket.
I felt this rubber pairs well with plastic balls, which are harder than the old celluloid ones.
The short game, drives, and serves are all easy to do, and topspin-type techniques draw a solid arc.
The speed isn't especially fast, but if you hit it hard, you can still produce a fast ball.
My impression from hitting with it was that it's a rubber with little energy loss and no real quirks.
No technique feels particularly hard to pull off, and I don't think it's an unruly, hard-to-tame rubber.
That said, while its potential is very high, it's also fairly hard and of course gets affected by the opponent's spin, so I felt it's better suited to intermediate players and above.
Also, there don't seem to be many blades it pairs poorly with, so it's an easy option to consider.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I think this rubber is all-around excellent!
The serve bites well, drives get plenty of spin, and rallying is easy too! It feels easy to switch between loop drives and other shots. I'm currently using medium thickness on my forehand, but I'm planning to switch to thick next, so I'm looking forward to that! I'll keep relying on this rubber going forward!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I use the max-thickness version on the backhand of my shakehand racket. It doesn't put a huge amount of spin on the ball, but flicks, pushes, everything is stable and usable.

Compared to the Rakza X, the spin amount is a step down, but the drive had good consistency… brush thin for a loop, or hit thick for speed. It's a little on the hard side though, so I think it's best suited for power hitters.
