    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.

      pain (Experience: 2〜3 years) Doesn't it not grip the ball?

      Reviews by user

      If you make contact and sink the ball in, it's stable. You get good shots. The backhand is the same.
      But if you try a quick counter-drive against backspin... it just won't lift! Brushing drives also leave you a bit uneasy.
      I'd recommend it for players who like to hit through the ball hard, and for backhand use.

      I use max thickness on both sides.
      People say it's similar to Tenergy, but personally I didn't feel it was very similar.
      With Tenergy, the ball sinks into the sponge no matter what position you're in, but with G-1 it only sinks in when you hit hard.
      That said, I felt stops and angled shots were easier than with Tenergy, so I think it suits players who do more than just drive — it's good for an all-round game.
      The spin and speed are both good, but compared to the max-thickness versions of other rubbers, the sponge feels thinner, so it doesn't carry the ball as much.
      It's a rubber I'd really recommend for the backhand.
      It also lasts a long time and is fairly light, which is another point in its favor.

      Table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) Amazing spin

      Reviews by user

      Comparing this to Rozena, my impression was that Fastarc G-1 gets more spin than Rozena. It's really easy to use on the backhand, and backhand drives had plenty of spin. On the forehand, drives felt like they went in more easily. So if you're going to use it, I'd recommend the backhand.

      Timobor! (Experience: More than 20 years) Wasn't for me...

      Reviews by user

      It doesn't really suit drive-oriented players. It suits flat-hitting players.
      Driving against backspin is indeed easy since the sheet grips the ball well, but if you try to return spin the way you would with Tenergy, you don't get the same stable
      ball. It doesn't carry the ball much, so I think it's good for players who play fast attacking games close to the table.

      benzene (Experience: 2〜3 years) Pretty decent

      Reviews by user

      I was surprised at how flat the trajectory was — flatter than I expected.
      Speed drives come out flat, but loop drives and lighter drives arc up nicely and feel stable. I think if you pair it with an inner-ply blade, even speed drives would get a higher arc.

      This is a rubber I knew wasn't for me from the basic drilling stage.
      It's not that it's bad, but it doesn't carry the ball well and the sheet feels slippery.
      Same with drives — the sheet has a kind of mushy, giving feel to it.
      I think a lot of people won't like the feel unless they put it on the backhand or pair it with a harder blade.
      It does get spin, so if you don't mind the feel — or if you actually like G-1's feel — I think it's easy to use.
      For chiquita, that same mushy give actually works in its favor, letting the ball sink in nicely.
      Still, the value for money is a bit of a concern.

      Nissi (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy for both drives and smashes!

      Reviews by user

      I use this on the forehand of my Fly At Carbon. I originally had Fly At Spin on it, but after switching to G-1 I felt like my drives gained power. It's especially easy to put spin on, and even from further back you can get plenty of spin during topspin rallies. I also smash a lot, and the power is beyond complaint. It's often recommended as a backhand rubber, but I think it works perfectly well on the forehand too.
