    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.

    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent balance between spin and speed
    • Versatile performance across drive, smash, and short game
    • Outstanding durability and cost-effectiveness
    • Dull sheet provides stable block and receive
    • Suitability varies greatly by playing style and thickness choice
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ 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.

      This is my current main rubber! I think you'll be satisfied with it on backhand. On forehand it feels like a bit of a waste, but once you get used to hitting into the ball while adding spin, it turns into a monster.

      ito (Experience: Less than a year) Stable drives, easy to handle

      Reviews by user

      You can hit stable, good drives with it. However, since it only produces "honest" (predictable) balls, once you get to a certain level it starts to feel a bit lacking.

      Nameless (Experience: 2〜3 years)

      Reviews by user

      I switched from Super Ventus. It was a good rubber, but I felt like Super Ventus generated more spin, so I think I'll switch back (since I use loop drives a lot). I think this one gives more speed though.

      Kuromame (Experience: 2〜3 years) Using MAX sponge thickness

      Reviews by user

      This is a comparison with max thickness.
      Equipment used:
      Blade: Acoustic Carbon
      Forehand: regular Hurricane Blue Sponge, max thickness
      Backhand: G1 MAX
      Weight:
      Max thickness: about 49g
      MAX: about 56g
      Bounce, ball quality, spin, and other things:
      MAX definitely has more bounce.
      Since the sponge is thicker, the ball sinks in a lot more too.
      With MAX it's easier to produce both a flatter trajectory and a more arced one.
      Roughly speaking, MAX tends toward a flatter trajectory, while the max-thick version is more arced.
      MAX feels softer on contact.
      Blocks with MAX come out with more arc.
      The max-thick version is a bit flatter.
      There's not much difference in spin amount.
      Chops with MAX come out a bit higher.
      Probably because they come out higher, the spin on those chops is a bit weaker than with the max-thick version.
      As for durability, MAX might have a slight edge.
      Max-thick works well on the backhand side, MAX on both sides.
      I'd recommend an acoustic-type blade for this.
      Hope this is useful as a reference.

      MacBook (Experience: 2〜3 years) The strongest‼︎

      Reviews by user

      I bought it in max thickness for both sides. It just bounces a ton, and since it keeps its spin performance, control is still solid.
      The easiest technique to pull off is countering. When the ball really sinks deep into the sponge, it produces monstrous speed and spin. I'll be sticking with this one until I've saved up more money. Recommended.

      koburakuda32 Used it back in the day

      Reviews by user

      Comparing this with Tenergy 05:
      Speed: Tenergy > G-1
      Spin: Tenergy ≤ G-1
      Ease of getting arc: Tenergy ≒ G-1
      Push: Tenergy ≒ G-1
      Stop (how easy it is to stop the ball): Tenergy ≤ G-1
      Short game: Tenergy ≤ G-1
      Chop (consistency): Tenergy ≤ G-1
      Chop (spin): Tenergy ≒ G-1
      Chop (ease of producing a no-spin ball): Tenergy < G-1
      That's roughly how it feels.
      Hope this is helpful as a reference.

      (Experience: 4〜5 years) It really holds the ball…

      Reviews by user

      Flicks stop dead on the table, over and over!
      The short game is easy, and topspin drives over the table in particular feel incredibly stable.
      Drives turn into monster shots when you hit the sweet spot, but it's tough if you miss it.
      If you swing all the way through, you get a good ball.
      Maybe it's easier to use on backhand?
