    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 can drive but can't hit lobs, YO Man (Experience: 4〜5 years) No rubber beats this spin

      Reviews by user

      I met him in the spring of my first year of junior high.
      His name was Yo-man, a chopper who couldn't hit if you stopped the ball on him.
      I started playing table tennis in junior high. He taught me all kinds of things.
      He taught me how to hit a topspin drive and lots of other stuff.
      But the thing that stuck with me the most was choosing a rubber.
      I knew nothing about rubbers and figured anything would do.
      But the world wasn't that kind…
      I talked it over with him and decided to buy this rubber.
      This rubber was amazing! It let me do everything I wanted to do, exactly the way I wanted.
      I'll keep believing in this rubber forever‼︎ And victory comes together with the rubber‼︎

      Tenaji? About this much, I guess?

      Reviews by user

      I think this rubber is easy to use and good, but it feels like there's less spin on serves. (compared to Tenergy)
      The speed depends on the player.
      It's a rubber that honestly reflects your own level.
      It's affected quite a bit by incoming spin.
      Honestly, I'd rather beginners not use it.

      Curve Drive (Experience: 2〜3 years) Very easy to use!

      Reviews by user

      Let me compare it to the Tenergy 05. First, the serve bites just as well as the Tenergy 05. It feels like spin is slightly less than the Tenergy 05, but the G-1 is still excellent when it comes to spin amount. Moving into the third-ball attack, it's less affected by incoming serve spin than the Tenergy 05, and the short game was easier to play too.

      Compared to other Fastarc rubbers, its spin is excellent, and even though you'd think it might lack speed, it actually produces plenty of speed too. Of the Fastarc line, the G-1 is my favorite. This rubber's performance is very close to the Tenergy 05. That said, while its lifespan is fairly long, the one downside is that it's more fragile compared to other rubbers.

      I think you'll get a lot of overshoot mistakes until you get used to it, but once you do, it becomes really easy to handle, so why not give it a try ♪

      Reviews by user

      I normally use this on my forehand.
      Topspin drives are really easy to do, and since it's a bit hard, smashes have good power too.
      When I hit with it on my backhand, backhand drives were really easy too!
      There's nothing bad about it in particular, and attacking is very easy!

      \Zakkariin/ (Experience: 6〜10 years) Feels soft, but...

      Reviews by user

      The first time I hit with this, it was on a single-ply hinoki penhold blade borrowed from a club friend, so my impression was that it was soft and flew a ton.
      The serves and short game had plenty of spin on them, though.

      When I put it on my own racket, it turned out to be really easy to use lol
      It doesn't feel weak in terms of how the ball comes off it, but it doesn't grip the ball too aggressively on its own either, so the trajectory was easy to picture.

      If you swing through properly you get real power, and counters and blocks are stable too. It's not affected much by incoming spin. I was surprised how easy chops were too.
      That said, the thing that really shined might have been flat hitting. It could be the perfect partner for a close-to-the-table attacking player…

      Reviews by user

      It puts great spin on my serves, and my topspin drives got insane spin too. My loop drive in particular was so spinny opponents couldn't even block it. But since it's hard, blocking was a bit harder to pull off. Still, it's a rubber you won't regret buying.

      KENTO KENTO KENTO (Experience: 2〜3 years) Crazy amount of spin

      Reviews by user

      I'd recommend putting this rubber on your backhand. Since it's on the harder side, chiquita and flicks are easy to do.
