    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.

      SHOKICHI (Experience: 6〜10 years) Not for players with a hard hit

      Reviews by user

      Reviewing this from a chopper's perspective.
      Some people say it's great for chopping, but honestly it's not that good. Maybe because it's an "auto" rubber, the ball flies off on its own, and while it does get spin, it doesn't come out that great. It's also the kind of rubber you have to hit through firmly for drives, and it clips off the sheet, so I wasn't that fond of it. It's a matter of preference, but I don't think it suits players with strong impact. If you're a chopper using this, it's probably better for when you're mostly attacking.

      If you're not hitting on the backhand, it's decent as a blocking rubber. I think that's where the benefit of it being an "auto" rubber really comes through.

      This is a rubber that can handle just about anything.
      I think it's on the faster side within the Fastarc lineup.
      It doesn't really affect the opponent much through spin.
      So I'd recommend it for flat-hitting players!

      Reviews by user

      The grip of the sheet is really high.
      Loop drives were really easy to do.
      It works well enough on both forehand and backhand.

      Betchi (Experience: 11〜20 years) A rubber that seems to appeal to everyone

      Reviews by user

      The sponge really grips the ball, so it feels like the ball stays on the rubber longer, and it gets plenty of spin.

      The sheet has a distinctive "ping" and "squeak" feel to it, and it's prone to slipping.

      If your impact isn't strong, the ball won't reach down into the sponge and will just hit the sheet, which might feel a bit lacking.

      It doesn't carry the ball far, so unless you're a powerful player, I think it's best played close to the table.

      I'd recommend it for players who fight with flat hits close to the table, or for intermediate-to-advanced players who can generate a fair amount of impact if they're playing a drive-based game.

      It's on the harder side, and unlike an "auto" rubber like Tenergy, it's the type where you have to generate the power yourself, so I think it suits an all-wood blade or an inner-ply blade that's thin and flexible.
      It pairs great with the Innerforce Layer ALC.S.

      Midren (Experience: 4〜5 years) Ultra-fast counter

      Reviews by user

      Serves just spin like crazy, blocks stay dead, and it's easy to counter when you pivot around your backhand too. Chiquita is also easy thanks to its moderate hardness. I often use a crouching serve, and it was easy to control.

      Chinese player with a short table tennis career (Experience: 2〜3 years) Definitely an all-round rubber!!

      Reviews by user

      I use this on both sides. Both drives and smashes are stable, the grip on the ball is strong, and chiquita is stable too. Over the table, I had the impression the ball flies off too much because of the high bounce, but if you put proper spin on it, you can still hit high-quality shots over the table. Counters and smashes also have great one-shot power, so I really think this is a genuine all-round rubber!

      Table tennis player from the countryside (Experience: 2〜3 years) Amazing rubber!!!

      Reviews by user

      For a high-end rubber, the control was really excellent. Since it doesn't bounce too much, I'd recommend it for beginners too.
      The spin was also excellent. Serves and loop drives were extremely easy to do.
      Even though it gets a lot of spin, it's not easily thrown off by the opponent's spin, and it's easy to hit flat, so smashes were easy to pull off.
      I'd recommend it for close-to-the-table drive players, choppers, and fast-attack players near the table.
      I'd recommend it for both forehand and backhand.
      The downside of this rubber is that speed drives are hard to pull off.
