    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.

      Loves table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) Power and spin, just right!

      Reviews by user

      It grips well for spin and has quite a bit of bounce too - looping drives were really easy to do. Hard hits also had good speed, so I thought it was a good rubber.
      I felt it works well on both backhand and forehand.

      It feels a bit like Yasaka's Rakza X.
      The short game is really easy to play, above all.
      For drives, it feels like you sink the ball into the sponge and hit it out.

      Reviews by user

      Recommended for the backhand.
      If you're not great on the backhand, you should definitely put this there❗
      It's easiest to use on the backhand,
      but it's easy to use on the forehand too.
      In topspin rallies, even without putting in much power, it catches the opponent's ball solidly and lets you hit back without losing to their power.
      Definitely worth buying✨

      Nora (Experience: 6〜10 years) Suits more players than G1

      Reviews by user

      So far I've used every rubber in the Fastarc series except the P1.
      This review is mainly about using it on the backhand, with a bit of forehand use too.
      I didn't find any technique in the short game that felt particularly hard to do.
      Drives on both forehand and backhand have a somewhat flat trajectory similar to G1, giving a more consistent shot.
      However, I felt it's more affected by the opponent's spin than G1 is. When I tried to block the opponent's drive straightforwardly, it sometimes went long.
      I felt I needed to return the ball with a bit of a counter motion, or add even more spin of my own on top of theirs.
      Overall, I think it's a high-performance rubber that's also easy to use.

      Matcha (Experience: 4〜5 years) Easy for backhand

      Reviews by user

      I used this on my backhand. Both the sheet and sponge are a bit on the hard side, so it was a little hard to use at first, but once I got used to it, it became very easy to use.
      Good points
      - Receiving is easy
      - Hitting hard shots is easy
      - The short game is easy
      - Good speed
      Bad points
      - Hard to put spin on
      I felt this rubber was a bit hard to generate spin with, but it's fine once you get used to it. It was really easy to use on the backhand, so please give it a try. Recommended.

      Kaorin Between S-1 and G-1

      Reviews by user

      As I mentioned in the title, comparing it within the same Fastarc series, I felt its performance sits somewhere between Fastarc S-1 and G-1. It's a hybrid rubber that inherits the good points of both - the easy-to-smash S-1 and the devastating drive power of G-1!

      Fastarc (Experience: 6〜10 years) Average in every way

      Reviews by user

      There's no particular technique that's hard to do
      it's a rubber that scores like an 80 out of 100 across the board
      it's on the soft side and has no weak points
      so I'd recommend it for players who don't hit with a lot of raw impact power.
