    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.

      Fastarc C-1 is the softest in the Fastarc lineup, and I'd recommend it for people aiming to step up toward advanced play.
      Drives get more spin than with the G-1, and it's also easier to lift the ball.

      It really feels like a true Fastarc rubber.
      I put it on my backhand.
      Since it's easy to put spin on serves,
      I've been able to add more variety to my serves.
      Blocking is easy too, and it's become very stable.

      Compared to the G-1, this rubber has a bit less grip on the ball, but it feels more stable and consistent. Also, if you sink the ball in properly when hitting, you get plenty of spin that can throw off the opponent's rubber, and it still goes in reliably even when you back away from the table, which I think is great. I think it's a good idea to try the G-1 after using this rubber.

      I think this is the rubber with the best control in the whole Fastarc series.
      The spin is on the lower side within the Fastarc line, but it still gives you the minimum spin you need, and it bites well.
      The speed is neither too fast nor too slow — right in the middle — and it grips the ball well, so you can produce loops with plenty of spin.
      Personally, I think it's better to graze the ball rather than hit it flat.
      Lastly, on the backhand it doesn't bounce too much, so the control is good and it feels very stable.
      I think the lifespan is around three months.

      I borrowed this from a friend and got to try it out. It's easy to hit against backspin. It "lifts easily" — since it's soft, I'd recommend it for the backhand. I don't know if it's because of my blade, but it makes a kind of hollow "poko-poko" sound.

      I used G1 on my forehand and C1 on my backhand.
      First, for a normal backhand shot... there's really no quirk to it, it draws a low arc. Backhand drives feel similar, like the spin just naturally comes on its own.
      As for lifting backhand drives, this is amazingly easy to lift with! With plenty of spin and great stability, you can swing through with confidence. The control is good too.
      For the short game, there's nothing particularly hard to do here either. Chiquita goes in without bouncing needlessly, and stops land nice and cleanly.
      I thought this would be great for players who want to add spin and play a stable game!

      In terms of feel, it was similar to Tenergy 80. Really easy to use!

      This rubber's lifespan is about three months.
      But within that period, I think it's a good rubber.
      It generates a fair amount of spin, and the speed is decent too.
      The control is really good, so I think it's great as, say, a third rubber to try.
