    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
    This rubber is widely supported by beginners to intermediate players, especially for backhand use. While the soft sponge is praised for stability and ease of use, advanced players seeking speed and power sometimes find it lacking.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Soft sponge makes tabletop techniques easy to handle
    • Recommended for backhand use with excellent blocking stability
    • Great for imparting spin on serves and loop drives
    • Lightweight with excellent control characteristics
    • Less speed and power, but focuses on consistency
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe soft sponge allows the ball to dig in without flying off, letting you hit your intended course. Very lightweight with great elasticity, combining reliability with excellent control.
    ▽ CriticalLacks speed and power. Lower shots tend to drop easily, which may feel insufficient for advanced players seeking stronger spin.

      I have it on both sides. On the forehand it's stable and makes it easy to land drives and smashes.
      On the backhand, blocking and chiquita are easy. For serves, I can put enough backspin on the ball that it comes back toward the net. I can also curve the ball with sidespin.

      I switched from Tenergy 64 because I wanted more stability on my backhand. On the forehand, I felt my drives lacked power, but on the backhand the balance between power and control is amazing. Blocks and counters go in smoothly too.

      I'm a rare Chinese-penhold chopper. I have it on my forehand. Both the sheet and the sponge are soft, so chops and drives both go in easily, of course. Serves are easy to put heavy backspin on too.

      carbon (Experience: 2〜3 years) Recommended for the backhand side

      Reviews by user

      It's easier to handle than the G-1, yet still has decent power. Drives go in very easily!
      That said, if you're reasonably good at table tennis, you'll probably feel it lacks power on the forehand.
      It's nice and stable on the backhand.
      Serves get a decent amount of spin too.
      Highly recommended!!!

      Reviews by user

      It's really easy to use. Above all, the grip on the ball is excellent. Personally I think it's even better than a certain Tenergy. Every technique was easy to perform. When hitting drives, the ball sinks in nicely and spin is easy to generate.

      Reviews by user

      I use this on my backhand. As expected from the Fastarc series!! Drives are really easy to hit! It goes in easily whether against topspin or backspin. And the speed off the rubber is great too — that really surprised me!! Overall it's a well-balanced rubber, so lots of techniques are easy to pull off! It might sound a bit much, but I honestly think this might be the easiest rubber to use out there!!
      If I had to name a personal weak point though, it's that it seems to get affected quite a bit by incoming spin when receiving. Well, that's probably more a matter of my own skill lol
      But the price is reasonable too, so I think it's worth trying — why not give it a shot?

      Zecchii (Experience: 11〜20 years) Arc is a bit low

      Reviews by user

      Blocking and receiving are great with this. It doesn't get out of control on the short game either. Maybe because it doesn't fly that far, the arc on my drives is low. It generates plenty of spin. I get more net-in shots than overshoots. I'd recommend it to anyone who finds Tenergy too bouncy.
