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.

Maruki It flies well. Recommended for backhand.

The first thing I noticed is that it puts a lot of spin on the ball; the push tends to fly, so it takes a bit of a knack.
It works totally fine on both forehand and backhand! But I think the backhand is where this rubber's strengths really come out.
Lifespan is average, and I'd say durability is on the low side.
I think it's quite usable regardless of playing style, whether you're a beginner or an advanced player.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Black Coffee (Experience: More than ２０ years) Bounces too much...

If you put this on a hard blade, it flies too much.
If you want to control the ball by putting your own spin on it,
it seems better to put it on a softer blade.
Compared to the Tenergy, it falls short in every respect.
That said, I think it offers good value for money.
Just don't expect much in the way of grip on the ball.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Let me compare it overall with the Tenergy 05.
- Serve
Of course the Tenergy has a bit more spin. The difference in spin amount was small enough not to really bother me. The G-1 has less bounce, which made it easier to produce short serves. I'd say the G-1 has the edge in serve consistency?
- Drive
Spin and consistency depend on the player and don't differ that much. That said, the Tenergy still gets plenty of spin even when you hit it flat, while the G-1 was much more consistent on drives hit flat.
- Backhand drive
The Tenergy was better overall here.
The G-1 tended to land shallow.
- Control
Overall consistency: Tenergy < G-1 — G-1 is simply better.
Light touch, close/mid-distance: Tenergy < G-1 — same as above.
Firm touch, away from the table: Tenergy > G-1 — the Tenergy's natural bounce makes it easier here.
Short game: Tenergy < G-1 — push and stop are about equal for both.
- Conclusion
The Tenergy has more bounce.
The G-1 wins on consistency and speed.
Well, the difference in spin was minor.
I get why top players who play away from the table choose the Tenergy for the bounce it gives.
For me, the G-1 is easier to use.
This is an all-around rubber I'd recommend for beginner to intermediate players.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is my first time using a special material blade (Innerforce Layer ALC), so I switched from the Tenergy 05 in search of more stability. Let me compare them overall.

The G-1 is overwhelmingly better in consistency and speed (power). The Tenergy was harder to hit flat with.Control
There's a lot to it, so I'll use inequality signs.
Overall consistency: Tenergy < G-1 — G-1 is simply better.
Light touch: Tenergy < G-1 — same as above.
Slightly firm touch: Tenergy > G-1 — the Tenergy's natural bounce makes it easier here.

It's top-notch in every way! Though it does feel like it wears out a bit quickly...

The spin isn't quite as much as the 05, but it still puts plenty of spin on the ball. That said, with plastic balls, I find this one easier to use than the 05.

I used this on the backhand side of my Freitas ALC❗ The spin is incredible. It says it's on the harder side, but it actually felt pretty soft to me❗ It's easy to use even for beginners and well balanced, so I'd recommend it.
