    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 used it on my forehand, and my topspin drives had a really high arc with great speed and spin, but if I had to point out one flaw, it would be that blocking is a bit tricky. That said, as I kept using it I got used to it and made fewer mistakes, and I ended up thinking it's a really good rubber.

      The spin is probably top-class among Nittaku rubbers. The technique it's best suited for is attacking with topspin drives. I've been playing table tennis for over 5 years, and this is one of the strongest rubbers I've ever used. I think it's on the same level as Tenergy.

      The spin is the highest in the Fastarc lineup. In Tenergy terms, it's about on par with the 05. The speed is pretty high too, so it's a great rubber for both offense and defense. Pro players use it on their forehand, so I think that gives you a good sense of what it's like.

      Idai (Experience: 4〜5 years) Amazing grip

      Reviews by user

      I borrowed a friend's and tried it out. On drives, the ball sinks well into the rubber and you get solid spin. On the backhand, chiquitas and backspin serves are easy to do. It's not quite on the level of Tenergy 05, but as a spin-oriented rubber it's really good.

      Takushin (Experience: 2〜3 years) Amazed by the high balance.

      Reviews by user

      Both the spin and speed on topspin drives are top-level. I think it suits pretty much any blade.

      Reviews by user

      My first impression was that this is an incredibly stable rubber, and that sinking the ball into the sponge is probably what really brings out its performance.
      It's on the hard side and fairly heavy, but compared to something like Rasant Power Grip or Bluefire, it's actually softer and lighter. It also lasts a long time.
      I use it on my backhand, and it has decent speed and blocks are really easy. Pushes and serves can also be cut sharply. It handles every short-game technique competently.
      Smashes and topspin drives are also easy, and it's easy to control — I think it's an all-around rubber with outstanding stability. Since the switch to plastic balls, I think the stability has gotten even better.
      If you're torn between tension rubbers, give this one a try! It doesn't have any one standout feature, but I think it answers just about any need.

      Counters and flat-hitting shots were really easy overall! That said, it does feel a bit slippery. I'd recommend it for players who play close to the table.
