    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.

      I have max thickness on my backhand.
      If you make thin contact you can sometimes clip the ball awkwardly, but overall I think it's a really easy rubber to use.
      It's easy to lift the ball against backspin too, and there's a nice contrast with flat hits - even balls where you think "there's no way this goes in" come up easily.
      The rubber itself is on the lighter side, so the racket's weight doesn't bother me much, and I really like it.
      If you can swing through properly, or if you're not sure what to put on your backhand, I'd really like you to try this at least once.

      Reviews by user

      I'd recommend this as a first tension rubber. It works on both forehand and backhand. However, if you try to generate spin using only the topsheet, it won't grip. There were quite a few times the ball didn't even clear the net. I think if you sink the ball all the way into the sponge, you get a good shot. The spin on serves was also low. This is a rubber whose evaluation really varies from person to person. It's similar to V15, and the smash was good.

      Table tennis-GT39 (Experience: 2〜3 years) A high-end model with both speed and arc!

      Reviews by user

      This is G-1, which you see a lot at tournaments. I borrowed a senior teammate's racket to try it out.
      The first thing I noticed was that even though it draws a nice clean arc, the ball still carries speed. It's a rubber that keeps speed up even when you put spin on it.
      It has enough power and spin to hold your own in rallies even from away from the table, while also being appealing for how easy the short game is.
      The one thing that concerns me, though, is the weight. Weight is common with rubbers like this, but G-1 feels especially heavy. It's fine if you have strong arms, but it might be a bit heavy for junior players.
      Still, it's a rubber with no real quirks, so how about it as a step up from something like Rozena?

      I'm currently using max thickness on both sides.
      Drives with inverted rubber on both sides are easy and stable.
      Serves are also easy to put spin on, which feels good.
      Overall, control is a bit tricky though.

      It is a self-proclaimed Nittaku Jijii. (Experience: 6〜10 years) A rubber everyone loves

      Reviews by user

      This is a fairly hard rubber with a sponge that produces a lot of arc. Its spin is a bit weaker than Tenergy, but in terms of control it's the number one piece of equipment in the rubber world. It wasn't made with a "spin-focused" pitch in mind - it's finished as a super easy-to-use rubber suited for players who want to win through consistency. It also lasts a long time.

      Who is it suited for?
      It suits players who want to win with the quality of their loop drives. Its speed is a bit weaker, but in terms of raw power it's in a league of its own.

      If you feel like something's missing, Tenergy might suit you better.

      My first impression is that it feels really "automatic." If you add spin, you get spin for it, but sometimes it comes out spinning even when you didn't add any. Also, its consistency relative to its power is really good. Even for someone like me who's been netting a lot of drives lately, the ball goes in surprisingly often. So if you're confident enough to commit to buying this, I'd recommend getting max thickness or MAX. It's easy to use, so it's plenty good enough for a middle schooler.

      The spin and speed are excellent, and it's an easy rubber to use. However, I feel the value for money is a bit lacking.
      I'd recommend it for drive-oriented players.
