    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.

      TH (Experience: 6〜10 years) Pay attention to the weight

      Reviews by user

      I use max thickness on my forehand and thick on my backhand.
      Speed, spin, and control are all at a high level and well balanced.
      While most high-performing rubbers like the Tenergy series or G1 tend to be heavy, this one is noticeably light, so it also helps with weight adjustment. Also, most high-performance spin tension rubbers have a hard feel, but I like that this one has a softer feel too.
      I'd recommend it for the backhand to people like me who aren't great with a hard feel, or who struggle with rubber weight.

      Personally I think this rubber is similar to Tenergy 80. The sponge is soft, so it lacks power on the forehand. On the backhand, though, it flies pretty well. The spin and speed are more than enough too ✨

      Reviews by user

      I tried this on my backhand.
      It didn't suit my swing, so it was hard to hit good balls.
      If you swing through properly, you can hit good shots with it.

      Former table tennis club member (Experience: 4〜5 years) My top pick rubber for the backhand

      Reviews by user

      Used on my backhand.
      It has no weird quirks and is genuinely easy to use for both offense and defense.
      The price feels a bit high, but if you're torn on what backhand rubber to get, C1 is my top pick.

      Reviews by user

      Using medium thickness, red, on my forehand.
      It's really good!
      The spin on my drives is amazing! The control is great too!
      When serving, the spin really bites too!
      Pushes grip the ball well too!
      I really recommend it!
      I'd say it's best suited for intermediate-level players...

      Table tennis lover (Experience: 2〜3 years) If you want aggressive table tennis, this is it!

      Reviews by user

      I used this on both my forehand and backhand, switching my backhand over from Fastarc S-1.
      Serve: used on the forehand, I think it grips the ball well, and I found it easy to control and easy to use.

      Receive: used on both sides. The short game was easy to handle, and chiquita was easy on the backhand. Pushes, though, are quite sensitive to incoming spin, so I made some mistakes when trying to match the spin.

      Drive: used on both sides. It made a nice "pak-pak" sound and produced good balls, but on backhand drives, if I didn't swing through properly the ball would drop short — other than that it was really good.

      Overall this is an all-around rubber that's easy to control and handles both attack and defense without any issues. The durability was decent too. I'd recommend it to two-winged drive players who use both hands.

      Player (Experience: 4〜5 years) Spin and control are truly god-tier!!

      Reviews by user

      Fastarc C-1 has excellent control. For a sponge hardness of 35 (45 degrees), I think the feel is on the softer side. And its spin performance is just as good as the G-1!! If your swing speed is high, you can get results on par with Tenergy 64. (This really varies from person to person.) The rubber itself is light, so it suits a wide range of blades! If I had to pick, I'd recommend it for an all-wood blade! (^-^)
