  Fastarc C-1

  

  This is basically a softer-sponge version of the G1.
  There's nothing that makes it hard to use.
  The sheet is the same as the G1.
  It suits players who like to sink the ball into the sponge before hitting.
  I don't think it's suited to a grazing style of hitting.

  I'd recommend it to people who felt the ball didn't sink in enough with the G1 and couldn't use it well.
  Players with a lot of power might experience some loss of efficiency.

  Personally, I think it's good for elementary schoolers to use on the forehand, and for junior high schoolers and up to use on the backhand.

  The durability isn't great.
  It performs at its best for about two months, and after that you start to lose grip and get some slippage. If you're changing it before a match, replace it at least two weeks ahead of time.

  G1のスポンジが軟らかいバージョンです。
  使いにくさはありません。
  シートはG1と同じです。
  食い込ませて打つ選手に向いてます。
  擦り打ちには向かないかと思います。

  G1では食い込みが浅くなってうまく使えなかったと感じる人にオススメです。
  パワーのある選手ではロスが出る可能性があります。

  個人的には小学生のフォア面、中学生辺りからはバック面に使用するのが良いかと思います。

  寿命は長くありません。
  性能をフルに発揮できるのは２ヶ月ほどで、超えると滑りのロスが出始めます。
  試合の前に交換するなら２週間前には換えて下さい。

  APOLONIA ZLC

  

  I'd tried special-material blades before and quit because they didn't suit me, but I gave it another shot.
  Unlike other special-material blades I've tried, this one doesn't feel like an unruly horse at all — it's really easy to use.
  The blade is 5.7mm thick, which is on the thinner side, but the ZLC makes up for it in terms of rebound.
  Compared to a 5-ply wood blade, the spin is clearly less, but it feels about on par with, or even slightly more than, a 7-ply.
  The speed is clearly fast.
  That's where the special material really shows.
  The topspin drive has a low arc and travels in a way I've never quite seen before.
  The short game and fine touches over the table are also easy to do, and out of roughly 10 blades I've tried, this is the easiest to use.
  Both topspin drives and flat hits are easy to pull off, so I can recommend it to attacking players in general.
  For rubber compatibility, I think any spin-oriented rubber works fine.
  For a lower arc go with something like the Fastarc line, and for a higher arc the Rakza X is good.
  If you're an attacking player, this blade doesn't pick and choose its user.

  一時期特殊素材系を使い、合わずにやめたのですが再度挑戦しました。
  これまでの特殊素材と違って、じゃじゃ馬感がなく非常に使いやすいです。
  板の厚みが5.7㎜でやや薄めだとは思いますが、反発はZLCがカバーしてくれます。
  木材５枚と比べると明らかに回転は落ちますが、７枚と同等かややかかる様に感じます。
  スピードは明らかに速いです。
  ここは特殊素材ならではですね。
  ドライブの弧線が低く、ちょっと見たことの無い飛び方をします。
  台上の細かい技もやり易く、過去10枚ほど板を変えてきましたが一番使いやすいと思います。
  ドライブ、ミートどちらも打ちやすいので、攻撃型の選手全般にオススメできます。
  ラバーの相性はスピン系ならどれでもいいと思います。
  弧線を低く出すならファスターク系、高く出すならラクザXがいいですね。
  攻撃型であれば使い手を選びません。

  Rakza X

  

  Among recent high-performance rubbers, this one lasts quite a long time, but I think three months is about the limit for keeping its performance.

  It's more stable when you sink the ball in than when you just brush it.
  There seems to be quite a bit of variation depending on hardness, so I'd recommend buying by specified weight.

  The sheet feels on the harder side when you press it, but I felt it has strong grip with good lateral hold on the ball.
  You do get spin, but unlike recent spin-oriented tension rubbers, it only spins as much as you put into it yourself.
  So the power of your drive really depends on your arm, but it's an honest, no-quirks rubber.

  I think it's suited to players in junior high or above who have a certain amount of power.

  最近の高性能ラバーの中ではかなり寿命の長いラバーですが、性能を維持できるのは３ヶ月が限界かと思います。

  擦り打ちよりは食い込ませて打つ方が安定します。
  硬度によって差がかなりあるように思いますので、重量指定で購入することをおすすめします。

  シートは押すと硬めの感触ですが、水平方向の踏ん張りが利く引っ掛かりの強いラバーだと感じました。
  回転はかかりますが、最近のスピン系テンションと違い、自分でかけなければ掛かりません。
  故にドライブの威力は腕次第ですが、素直で癖の無いラバーです。

  中学生以上である程度パワーのある選手向けだと思います。

  Fastarc G-1

  

  Spin, speed, and control are all top-notch, making this a well-balanced rubber.
  There's nothing hard to use about it, and I think it's an excellent rubber.
  If anything, it suits players who dig the ball firmly into the sponge rather than just brushing the surface.
  The sheet isn't hard either, so I think players from around junior high age can use it at full performance.

  It doesn't pick and choose which blade you pair it with.
  It works well with both wood blades and special-material blades.

  The lifespan isn't very long.
  With practice of 2 hours, 2-3 times a week, I think two months is about the limit for maintaining performance.
  As it wears, it's inevitable that the rubber surface gets rough, but on top of that I feel it starts picking up moisture more easily.
  The sheet also starts to harden once it's past about three months.

  The difference from a fresh sheet is pretty noticeable, so if you're swapping it out before a match, replace it at least two weeks ahead.

  スピン性能、スピード、コントロールのいずれも高水準でバランスのいいラバーですです。
  使いにくさもなく、非常に良いラバーだと思います。
  どちらかというと、表面で擦る打ち方よりもスポンジまでしっかり食い込ませて打つ選手に向いてます。
  シートも硬くはありませんので、中学生辺りからフルに性能を発揮した状態で使えると思います。

  合わせるラケットの種類を選びません。
  木材合板にも特殊素材にも合います。

  寿命は長くありません。
  週２～３回各２時間の練習で２ヶ月が性能を維持できる限界かと思います。
  劣化するとラバー表面が荒れるのは仕方の無いことですが、プラスして湿気を取り込みやすいと感じます。
  シートも３ヶ月を超えた辺りで硬化し始めます。

  新品との差が結構出ますので、試合前に交換するなら２週間前には交換して下さい。
