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.

Personally I think this is a rubber you can use for anything.
For drives, you can hit both loops and speed drives.
The short game is easy too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This rubber has low sensitivity to incoming spin, lasts a long time, and is relatively light, so it's a good option not just for the forehand but also on the backhand if you want to adjust weight or want more stable receives.
It's a tension rubber that offers control like a high-elasticity rubber while still letting you produce tricky, unpredictable shots — so I'd recommend it to anyone who feels that modern tension rubbers have gotten too high-performance to handle, but high-elasticity rubbers feel too tame.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I'm not a huge fan of tension rubbers, and this one had that typical tension-rubber feel in a bad way. It's a rubber where it feels like the ball flies off just from the sheet and sponge, without much sensation reaching your hand.
Also, here's my summary of who this suits and who it doesn't. (Because I don't want anyone to waste their money)
○ People it suits (max thickness or MAX recommended)
- The type who keeps their weight forward, on the balls of their feet
- Hits by handling the ball out in front
- Prefers a heavier blade
- Prefers a blade that flies no matter what
- Likes the feeling of the tension rubber sheet launching the ball.
- Prefers a thin grip, or an ST handle○ People it doesn't suit (thick or tacky rubber recommended)
- The type who keeps their weight back, on their heels
- Hits by pushing through with the body
- Prefers a blade with moderate weight and a grip-heavy balance
- Prefers a blade that doesn't fly much but has a solid, clear feel
Prefers rubbers you hit thick with, like tacky rubbers.
- FL handle only, no other optionAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use FLYATT Carbon PRO

Back in middle school I used thick on my backhand.
Above all, G1 was very consistent.
Backhand drives and chops were consistent too, but the short game techniques and blocking were especially consistent.
I think this rubber is perfect for rally-style players or anyone who wants a consistent backhand.
That said, it does seem prone to clipping the edge, so it might not suit people who aren't great at footwork or who often hit off-balance, but I still think it's worth using.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Innerforce Layer ALC (Experience: Less than a year) Spin is the best!

It really got a lot of spin.
In particular, driving against backspin was easy and loop drives had really strong spin.
As for lifespan, the sheet is tough and easily lasts 4 months, but the sponge gradually stops flying well after about 3 months.
By the way, I used the max thickness version.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

This was the rubber I used when I came back to table tennis after being away from it for over a decade.
My first impression was that it's heavy... I had the image of it being commonly used by middle and high schoolers, so I didn't worry about the weight when I put it on, but I was still surprised by how heavy it was.
It gets spin, but not all that much. It's very easy to block with.
Receiving also felt easy, probably because the sheet has low grip.
I thought it would be an easy rubber to handle on the backhand if you adjust the weight.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use Acoustic

I used MAX. Weight before cutting was 72g, and about 51g after cutting.
This is truly a landmark rubber of the early generation of German rubbers.
The sheet has fairly thick, low-grip pips-in style feel. The sponge, on the other hand, is dense and relatively hard.Moderate bounce, a decent amount of spin — it's the benchmark for the 47.5° hardness range, on par with Rakza 7.
The arc is also a bit on the high side and it can handle meet hits reasonably well, so as long as the weight isn't an issue, it works on both forehand and backhand.
In particular, the sheet's low grip is higher than you'll find on recent rubbers, so I'd recommend it to anyone struggling with their receives.
That said, once a drive rally gets going, returning spin gets tough — but if you're at the level where that comes up, it's probably time to move on to a higher-end rubber anyway.If you buy it online, the discount is big and you can often get it for under 5000 yen, so great value for money might be its biggest feature.
If you're not sure which rubber to use, give this one a try.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
