    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.

    ▲ PositiveSpin is applied effectively, smash trajectory is linear, and stops are controlled well. Its greatest appeal is the ability to handle any technique on a single sheet, explaining why many players choose it.
    ▽ CriticalThin contact results in chipping and dropping balls, requiring sufficient impact. Performance significantly affected by humidity and minor oil residue, demanding meticulous maintenance and care.

      Asougi (Experience: 6〜10 years) Forehand drive is the best

      Reviews by user

      Since Tenergy went up in price, I switched my forehand from Tenergy 05 to this Fastarc G-1. The spin feels just as good, if not better. That said, it's easier to put spin on plastic balls than before. However, it feels like the ball flies off faster than with Tenergy 05. First-time users may need some time to adjust.

      Table Tennis Guy (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to use

      Reviews by user

      I put the thick version on my forehand.
      At first I really struggled to get the hang of it, but once you're used to it, it's easy to use. Drives get great grip on the ball, and they go in whether you're playing over the table or reaching down below table level. Flicks in the short game land well too. It's easy to overpower the opponent's spin with your own, so that part was easy. On top of that, it bounces really well, so you get amazing speed. Even in a topspin rally away from the table, you can overpower the opponent's spin with tremendous spin of your own and send the ball back.
      It's expensive and a bit hard to justify buying, but it's a rubber that truly lives up to expectations. I recommend it.

      Grip (Experience: 6〜10 years)

      Reviews by user

      It pairs well with Butterfly carbon blades or the Nittaku Acoustic. Spin and power are both high, and it handles plastic balls well too. A lot of pro players only put it on their forehand, but if you put it on both sides, you can hit powerful topspin drives with both hands.

      No complaints on either speed or spin! It's my favorite rubber. I can handle the short game well with it too.

      Desutaku (Experience: 6〜10 years)

      Reviews by user

      Ranking spin among the Tenergy and Fastarc lineups, I'd put it as #1 Tenergy 05, #2 Tenergy 05 FX, and #3 Fastarc G1, I'd say. The spin level is really high. It should suit plastic balls well too, since the grip on the ball is so good

      Idai (Experience: 4〜5 years) Best spin and grip

      Reviews by user

      Even among spin-oriented rubbers, this one's performance is top-class. Using it on your forehand lets you take advantage of its bounce, so both drives and smashes land easily. Given that it's used continuously by so many table tennis players — Kasumi Ishikawa, Masataka Morizono, Mima Ito, and more — if you want more spin or want to improve your topspin drives, this rubber is the answer.

      takatakayamayama Outstanding ease of use❗

      Reviews by user

      Flat hits, hard smashes, topspin drives, serves, pushes — all of them are amazing❗ If you're torn on which rubber to pick, please give this one a try. It matches any blade, so it's easy to use and perfect for learning new techniques❗❗❗
