    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 have this in max thickness on the forehand of my Ma Long 5 (5-ply blade). Because it's max thickness, it tends to fly quite a bit. I'd say it's a perfect rubber for attacking players who use topspin drives and counters. On the backhand it's easy to block with.

      It seems to have a lot of power on the forehand, and on the backhand the power is moderate, but it's easy to hit shots close to the table. I think Tenergy 05 is the closest rubber to this one.

      Fastarc (Experience: 2〜3 years) Exhilarating

      Reviews by user

      It's not easily affected by incoming spin, and it's also easy to produce fast shots like topspin drives. The sponge is quite hard too.

      Spin monster (Experience: 4〜5 years) Tenergy-class

      Reviews by user

      After using Tenergy 80, I switched to G-1 for budget reasons lol
      When I tried it, the spin didn't lose out to Tenergy at all!! Both serves and topspin drives got a ton of spin! The loop drive has an insane amount of spin!
      The short game is easy to play too, and my younger brother, who made the round of 16 at the junior high prefectural tournament, was surprised (it's a secret that his older brother is weaker)
      I think the 6,000 yen G-1 is better than 8,000 yen rubbers like Tenergy 05. From now on, even if I have room in my budget, I think I'll buy G-1

      Front-court fast attack Driveman (Experience: 4〜5 years) Power drive!

      Reviews by user

      When you hit a topspin drive with a solid, strong impact, it gets a lot of spin, draws a sharp arc at a good speed, and drives right into the opponent's court, with plenty of extension too. For power drives it's on par with Tenergy, and I think you can even get drives better than that, so I recommend it!
      The power on flat hits isn't quite as strong as Tenergy, but it's more consistent.
      The bounce is relatively mild, but that gives you more control in return.

      I tried it on both forehand and backhand, and it works well on both. It's perfect for various attacking shots like topspin drives and counters.

      The spin is almost the same as Tenergy. The sponge is relatively soft at 37.5 hardness, so it's easy to hit drives where the ball sinks into the sponge.
