    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.

      Kichigai★Southpaw (Experience: 4〜5 years) It's a good rubber, but…

      Reviews by user

      I used this on my backhand. Since it doesn't fly much, the power is a bit lacking, but I had a good impression of the push and block. Pushes stop short, and blocking with a flat push-through gives a slight knuckle effect. People say it's similar to Tenergy, but personally I felt it was a completely different rubber. With Tenergy 05, even when I was off balance and returned the ball awkwardly, the spin would still help me out in some situations, but with Fastarc G1, a half-hearted hit gives you a half-hearted ball (lol). On top of that, it also seems more sensitive to surface dirt and humidity... I first used it on my forehand, but it didn't quite click, and I felt it suited my backhand better. I think Fastarc G1 can be used on either forehand or backhand, but I'd recommend using it on whichever side you're stronger on. As for the price, honestly I think mid-6,000 yen is expensive. If it were in the 4,000 yen range, that would feel more reasonable~

      Loves table tennis (Experience: 4〜5 years) Straight line — a rubber I don't quite get

      Reviews by user

      The ball you hit travels in a straight line. So the blade I'd recommend pairing it with is the Timo Boll ALC.
      This is a famous rubber used by players like Morizono, Ito, and Ishikawa, but honestly I couldn't tell what was so great about it. The characteristics are hard to pin down. It's not as clear-cut as Tenergy.

      Sou (Experience: 2〜3 years) The master of power drives

      Reviews by user

      When I think of power drives, G-1 comes to mind. Just the rubber itself is heavy, so it requires quite a bit of strength. Even though it's described as a grip-type rubber, it still produces good speed. I'd recommend it to players who hit heavy topspin drive attacks. The downside might be that it's a little prone to net misses. Personally, I'd recommend putting it on your forehand.

      It has a heavy, solid feel, and I don't think the rubber's own speed and bounce are all that amazing. That said, it's easy to hit drives where the ball sinks into the sponge, and it's relatively stable.
      As a spin-oriented tension rubber, it doesn't have any standout performance, but it's well rounded at a high level, making it an easy-to-use rubber that appeals to everyone.
      The price feels a bit high relative to the performance, but it lasts longer than the 05, so I recommend it.

      Table tennis player who loves fishing (Experience: 2〜3 years) Insane amount of spin

      Reviews by user

      At first I hit a lot of shots long, but once I got used to it, the long misses stopped and I could use it well. With this rubber, a half-hearted swing will send the ball long right away, so I think it suits people who can swing through properly. If you swing through properly, the ball gets amazing spin and stays consistent. The speed is excellent too. Flat hits are also easy to do.

      Fastarc (Experience: Less than a year) The best

      Reviews by user

      This rubber is easy for anyone to use and gives consistent results! It gets a lot of spin - it's the best!
      In max thickness especially, it's a rubber that gives great power even to people who can't afford Tenergy!
