    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.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly evaluated as a standard German tension rubber with proven track record among top players and versatile performance, yet many note it requires strong impact technique and is not suitable for all player types. Durability and cost-effectiveness are central to its support.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Versatility: Compatible with drives, attacks, table techniques and more
    • Durability and longevity: Lasts longer than Tenergy or Dignics
    • Grip power: Holds the ball firmly for stability
    • Impact-dependent: Best for powerful hitters; weak contact causes drops
    • Highly rated for backhand: Excellent stability and ease of use
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveA German rubber that produces curveballs and enables various techniques like drives, smashes, and counters to be executed easily. Achieves high-level spin and speed, with excellent longevity. Recommended for students and intermediate players.
    ▽ CriticalWhen trying to add strong spin with heavy impact, the ball sometimes slides. Not suitable for power hitters. Feels like a previous generation rubber with no distinctive characteristics, making it not worth the high cost.

      White circle (Experience: 4〜5 years) Excellent stability

      Reviews by user

      When it comes to topspin drives, I feel like this rubber makes control incredibly easy. It's an easy rubber to use on both forehand and backhand.
      It's not just drives either — smashes, pushes, flicks, pretty much everything is easy to do with it.
      The feel on contact is great too, you get a solid sense of the hit coming through, so it feels really good to play with.
      For serves, I think it's easy to create a clear difference between spinny and non-spinny serves.

      Personally I don't feel like the rubber itself has that much bounce on its own, so I'd recommend pairing it with a bouncier blade, like one with special composite materials.
      If you're torn on which rubber to pick, I think it's worth just trying this one out.

      Piggybacking fx (Experience: 4〜5 years) Holds its own against rivals

      Reviews by user

      This is an incredibly strong rubber for topspin rallies
      However, it's a bit too hard, so it's not suited for players who want to take the initiative with pushes or who want to win points by aiming their pushes at specific spots
      Serves bite well and it's easy to follow up with consecutive attacks!
      If you put this rubber on your forehand, I'd recommend using a softer rubber on your backhand
      For example, V>01 Limber or the Tenergy FX series

      PARFECT HUMAN (Experience: 4〜5 years) No way!

      Reviews by user

      Previously I had G-1 and Bryce Speed FX on my Bearwell Fleet blade. But my stops and backhand drives kept flying off the table, so I decided to put in all my savings and buy a new blade. It turned out that, even though it's a carbon blade, my stops don't float up at all — I can drop them right at the net — and I've also had fewer overshoots and net mistakes on my drives. Since Mima Ito and Ayane Morita already had G-1 on their forehand, I already had confidence in my forehand, but I was a little hesitant about putting V>01 Limber on my backhand — it turned out to match really well and was great. If you go with this combination, you really can't go wrong.

      Fu Topspin drive!

      Reviews by user

      Loop drives get insane spin with this. Speed drives come out with plenty of speed too — I'm very satisfied.

      Do not (Experience: 4〜5 years) Insane spin on drives

      Reviews by user

      What's amazing about this rubber is that, on top of the speed, when you brush the ball on a topspin drive it just grips and spins on its own even without you really feeling it, and the opponent ends up hitting it long. Flat hits and counters come out stable too. That said, the ball can fly off on its own, and the feel for the short game is a bit tricky. It feels hard at first, but as you use it, it softens up and becomes easier to handle! It's a really great rubber, so please give it a try!

      Kaolin As expected

      Reviews by user

      It's no wonder this is used on Ishikawa's and Ito's forehand, and on Morizono's backhand! I tried it in max thickness on my Hadraw SLD, and even though it's a fairly hard rubber, the way it really grips the ball felt great. It's not that it "holds" the ball for long, but even with a moderate impact you get plenty of spin and a good-quality ball, so it's a perfect rubber for intermediate players and above!
