    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.

      Just like the rumors say, this is an easy-to-use rubber.
      Both the bounce and how easily it takes spin are excellent.
      If you want to hit hard and fast, pair it with a hard blade like a carbon one.
      If you want to put spin on carefully, pair it with a softer blade like an all-wood one,
      and I think it'll work well either way.

      The one issue, though not as much as Tenergy, is that it's a bit pricey.

      Especially for students, it might be worth only putting it on the week before an important tournament.

      Yoshitake Keihou Seika (Experience: 2〜3 years) It's a good rubber!

      Reviews by user

      I think this is a really good rubber.
      It gets a lot of spin, so it's a perfect rubber for players who are still learning to hit topspin drives! It can be used by a wide range of players, from intermediate to advanced.

      Currently using this in red, max thickness.

      I think this is good for people who are drawn to Tenergy's performance but feel like they can't get the most out of it.

      Basically, instead of the automatic bounce and spin feel you get with Tenergy, this rubber gives more of a sense that you're generating the shot yourself.
      Because of that, it's easier to control the ball than with Tenergy.
      Serves also get plenty of spin, and since it doesn't bounce too much, you can put spin on the ball with confidence.

      I can't deny my own lack of skill, but when pushed back away from the table, it was hard for me to hit a topspin drive that dug deep into the opponent's court.
      On the other hand, when hitting close to or at mid-distance from the table, I could hit consistently, and the arc came out just the way I imagined.

      This rubber is well suited for advanced players. You can put solid spin on the ball, and counters aren't a struggle either. That said, I think it bounces a bit too much for beginners, so beginners might want to get used to tension rubbers first with something like the Fly Att series.

      I guess you could call it a speed-focused version of Tenergy 64. To start, I can't find any real flaws, though I do feel the grip on the ball is a little weak.

      Taketcho (Experience: 2〜3 years) Grabs spin really well!

      Reviews by user

      I bought Fastarc G-1 at a table tennis shop the other day! When I tried it, I could put good spin on my serves, and topspin drives were easy to hit and landed on the table well!! I recommend it to people who have the basics down or who want to win more at tournaments!!

      Currently using this on both sides of a Chinese penhold blade. My first impression is that topspin drives land on the table easily. Besides that, the short game and counters are also easy to do.
