    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.

      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!

      Fastarc G-1 is easy to handle for speed, spin, and control — I'd really recommend it. It's especially good for anyone who wants to add more spin to their serves and topspin drives.

      shinon (Experience: 2〜3 years) The topspin drive is amazing.

      Reviews by user

      It puts good spin on the ball and has speed too, so you can pull off all kinds of powerful attacks! Topspin drives come out with real power as well.

      When I first put it on and tried it out, I found it hard to control — my drives kept going long, and I couldn't vary the length of my serves well, so at first I thought I'd made a mistake.
      But after about a week of use, the sheet seemed to soften up a bit and the grip felt stronger; drives came in a bit flatter but landed consistently, and serves felt great as long as I brushed the ball.
      It might feel hard to use at first, but I think it's a rubber that grows on you once you break it in a bit.

      Fastarc G1 feels like the hardest rubber in the Fastarc lineup to me
      True to the "G1" (grip) in its name, I think it does have good spin — the grip is strong, which also means it's easy to be affected by the opponent's spin
      On top of that, it's fast and hard to control, so I wouldn't recommend it for elementary schoolers or beginners who don't have much power yet

      Manyu (Experience: 11〜20 years) It's a good rubber

      Reviews by user

      I put this on my son's blade.
      My impression is that it's slightly harder than Tenergy 64.
      It puts good spin on the ball — even my son, who's in first grade, gets nice spin on his topspin drives with it. Smashes are easy to hit too.
      It makes sense that so many of Japan's top players use this rubber.
      It's a really excellent rubber.

      Yutchi@Cut A versatile, high-performance rubber

      I think this is an outstanding rubber! It's easily one of the top 3 rubbers I've ever used.
      You can put spin on the ball, but it doesn't take much of the opponent's spin.
      It has speed, but the ball still sinks in with plenty of spin, and blocking works great too.
      Even though I put it on for chopping, I was never overpowered in topspin rallies either. It's an all-around, high-performance rubber that gives you a high level of both spin and control, on offense as well as defense!
      I think it suits any playing style — it works for everyone!
