    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 C-1 comes into the series softer than G-1 and P-1 but a bit harder than S-1 for more speed while still maintaining a high degree of control. Slower and controllable in the short game, good placement and pace on medium shots, and power on solid shots.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a stability-focused rubber suitable for beginners to intermediate players. Backhand usage is particularly recommended, offering excellent ball control and spin despite its soft sponge. Some advanced players note a lack of speed and power for competitive play.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent stability and ease of use on backhand
    • Easy to apply spin with good short-range technique
    • Soft sponge ideal for beginners but lower maximum performance
    • Long durability and good rubber longevity
    • Pairing with Fastarc G1 on forehand is recommended
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being a lightweight German rubber, it has sufficient bounce. The soft sponge provides excellent grip for precise shot placement, making it an all-around excellent rubber.
    ▽ CriticalSlightly slow with moderate spin. Lacks the power desired by advanced players seeking maximum speed.

      Banana Man (Experience:4〜5 years) A middle-class rubber that should never be underestimated.

      Reviews by user

      The 7-ply wood blade, with the DIG05 extra-thick rubber on the forehand and the C1 extra-thick rubber on the backhand, weighs 191g.

      The topsheet surface is quite insensitive and less affected by spin, making receiving easy. However, when attacking, the soft sponge allows the ball to grip firmly without dropping, enabling precise shots to the intended course.

      Another excellent feature is its lightness. Being an older German rubber, I had assumed it would be heavy, but I was surprised to find it's almost the same weight as the Dignics 80.

      Even without considering these factors, it's a very good rubber, but it also has considerable bounce and flies well. It suits me perfectly; it's all-around excellent.


      This experience made me realize that high-end rubbers aren't always the best.

      The sheet is excellent. It doesn't slip even with a light touch. It's highly suitable for loop drives, and I used it to build rallies with smashes after loop drives. If using it on the forehand, I think it's suitable for people who clearly differentiate between loop drives and speed drives or smashes. If using it on the backhand, it's usable if you don't mind the ball flying upwards. The lifespan isn't bad, but it seems to chip easily. The price and the coolness are the only things that are a bit questionable, but personally, it's a god-tier rubber. (As a side note, I was so addicted to loop drives for a while that I couldn't hit drives that dig into the ball anymore, so I switched to a different rubber (lol))

      This rubber is incredibly easy to use on both the forehand and backhand sides. The sponge hardness is a comfortable 45 degrees, making it easy to play near the table and reducing stress during play.

      However, it's not really suited to the kind of hitting technique where you cover the ball and dig it in, like with Tenergy. I found it more suited to a technique where you hold the racket relatively upright and hit the ball (using both the topsheet and sponge), so that's something to keep in mind.

      Reviews by user

      Used on an outer carbon backhand. The soft hardness made all techniques easy. While I wished for a little more power, I think this rubber is easy for anyone to use, from beginners to intermediate players.

      Feeling good Zoy (Experience:2〜3 years) I think it would be better to try it out Zoy

      Reviews by user

      The soft sponge gave it a sense of stability. It had quite a bit of grip. It had a stronger characteristic than any other rubber I've used so far. People will either love it or hate it.

      Reviews by user

      Seriously easy to use. But I can't say it's powerful. It's good for hitting from above because you can bite into it and spin it back. Maybe hitting it from below is a little slower? Recommended for beginners and intermediate players? It seems like the feeling of biting into it is a matter of personal preference, so it might be a good idea to try it out.
