    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 tried this because it had good reviews. My first impression was that it has excellent spin. The speed and control are pretty good too. I'd recommend it to both beginners and advanced players. I'd really like people to try it at least once.

      This rubber is getting attention as one designed for plastic balls, and I felt the performance matched that reputation. I'd recommend it to people who prioritize spin and control.

      I used to be a Tenergy user, but I switched because the price was too high.
      Looking at the hardness rating alone, I thought it might be a bit hard, but when I actually hit with it, it feels quite soft. I especially found the push and stop easy to do. I'd recommend it to players who attack close to the table.

      This rubber really grips the ball with spin. Control is good too, but I felt it was a bit hard. Still, I think it's fine once you get used to it, so I'd really like people to try it at least once.

      First, forehand hitting
      My impression was, "doesn't this not fly that much?"

      Forehand topspin drive
      You get a sense that spin grips the ball just by making contact.
      It's easy to switch between different types of drives.

      Short game (forehand)
      Stop, push, and flick are all
      above average, I'd say.
      The one I found easiest to do was the stop.
      A well-cut stop is also easy to pull off.
      As for the push, my opponent said
      the ball came in really heavy.

      Backhand topspin drive
      At an early contact point,
      it's easy to hit a good topspin drive.
      The push isn't particularly
      easy to do.

      Short game
      The stop and push were very easy to do.
      The chiquita in particular is great.
      The spin really grips hard,
      and the speed chiquita also produces a really great ball!

      Overall
      Personally, I feel this rubber suits the backhand better than the forehand.
      It's better suited for backhand players who catch the ball at an early contact point, like Chinese players, rather than European-style players who center their backhand around chiquitas and stops from a dropped contact point.

      When I touched the rubber, I thought it might be hard, but when I actually hit with it, it felt somewhat soft. If you can hit your serves, receives, and topspin drives solidly, you get good shots. However, in close or tense moments, since the rubber itself is a little hard, just tapping the ball makes it harder to land on the table. Personally, I'd recommend max thickness for the forehand; for the backhand, thick if you're mainly hitting flat shots, or max thickness if you're hitting topspin drives. Overall it's a high-performance, easy-to-control rubber, so I can highly recommend it to intermediate and advanced players who have the basics down.

      I personally had a pretty good impression of it.
      It's no wonder it's what supports Ishikawa's play.
      Topspin drives and detailed techniques all land consistently!
