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.

I used Thick on my backhand. For me, the ball sank into the sponge too much, making it hard to put spin on it. Meet-shot techniques were very stable, but since I brush the ball a lot on my backhand, it didn't suit me.

Let me write this as a bullet list!
(Good points)
- Control is really easy!
- I found it easy to use whether I was close to the table, mid-distance, or away from the table!
- Blocks and counters were stable and easy too!
- Easy to get a feel for!(Other notes)
- Compared to Fastarc G1 or Tenergy, I felt the power was a bit lacking. But if you put solid spin on it, good shots still land!(Summary)
All in all, Fastarc C1 (Max thickness) is easy to handle and I'd highly recommend it!
Please give it a try!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I use it in Thick on both sides. It's not as fast as G-1, but spin comes very easily — pushes in particular bite well and land deep. Curve drives are easy to hit, and once the ball lands on the opponent's side it drops sharply, making it hard to return. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants more spin than their current rubber.

I originally had G-1 on both sides, but the backhand felt a bit too hard, so I switched. I found this rubber to be a truly well-rounded, gapless all-rounder. The sponge is on the softer side, but because the topsheet is hard, blocks don't get pushed back, and it feels like you're getting even more spin than you're asking for. The one thing is that compared to other spin-tension rubbers, the bounce feels a bit more restrained, but I actually got hooked on the sense that I could control it myself. The topsheet grips the ball strongly and is on the harder side, so the short game performance is flawless too. This is a rubber I'd recommend for the backhand more than the forehand.

Just like the title says, it's a high-level rubber that's also easy to use. In Tenergy terms, it's like an 80.
Because of the medium hardness, it's easy to control on both forehand and backhand, and speed and spin are both more than sufficient.
The topsheet grips the ball strongly and it's great against backspin. Whether you brush it or sink it in, it works fine. Drives fly low and flat, so switching over from a rubber with a higher arc trajectory might take a bit of getting used to. Personally I found the distance more than enough.
Meet shots aren't anything special, but they're doable.Pushes and the short game bite well without feeling twitchy or unpredictable, and blocks land solidly too. Serves have good spin whether you brush the topsheet or sink the ball in.
G-1 is certainly more powerful than C-1, but producing good shots consistently with it takes a high level of skill and strength.
Advanced players who can smash hard all the time in a match are probably better off with G-1, but I don't think there are that many people like that, so
without overreaching (that said, C-1 is still plenty powerful) choosing C-1 for stability seems like the right call. In fact, you often see even skilled players with it on their forehand.Regardless of skill level or forehand/backhand, this is a battle-tested rubber that can handle a wide range of tactics and strokes!

Overall it feels like it lands consistently no matter what technique you use. The bounce is good and the spin isn't bad either — I think it suits people using special materials like outer-fiber blades who mainly hit meet shots.
For all-wood or inner-fiber blade users, I think you can handle spin as well. Lifting backspin balls in particular was easy.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I'll write this as a comparison with G-1.
It's a rubber with the same topsheet as G-1, just a different sponge. Here's a summary of my impressions from hitting with it:Spin: G1 > C1
Bounce: G1 < C1
Control: G1 ≤ C1 *for intermediate players
Power: G1 > C1Even though it shares the same topsheet as G-1, the feel on the ball is completely different.
It's also nothing like Tenergy, but in terms of rubber families, you could line them up like this:G1 ⇔ Tenergy 05
C1 ⇔ Tenergy 80If your backhand is mostly about quick, flicking techniques like blocking, put C1 on the backhand; up to intermediate level, it's also fine on the forehand.
If you want to overwhelm with power and spin, go with G1. If you're more rally-oriented and prioritize balance and control, C1 is also cheaper, so it's a strong option.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
