After trying many high-performance rubbers, the Nittaku Fastarc G-1 is the one that finally clicked for my offensive game. While rubbers like Tenergy 05, Dignics 05, Tenergy 80, and Tibhar MX-P offered speed, I struggled with their inconsistency, extreme bounce, and sensitivity to incoming spin, which led to frustration and errors in matches.
The G-1 solved those problems with its predictable performance and excellent balance of power and control.
For me the G-1 is less "springy" than the Tenergy or MX-P rubbers. The power I generate is directly proportional to the effort I put into the stroke. This makes the short game, blocking, and service return much more reliable because the ball doesn't just fly off the bat uncontrollably. I found It has a high throw angle, similar to Tenergy 05. This gives my loops a great, safe arc that consistently lands on the table, unlike the flatter trajectory of Tenergy 80 which I struggled with. The G-1's stiffness helps minimize the effect of my opponent's heavy spin, allowing for more aggressive blocks and drives without the fear of the ball flying long.
The Nittaku Fastarc G-1 is not the absolute fastest rubber on the market if you play passive strokes or you dont have a full arm swing, but for me i can generate huge amounts of spin and speed with reliable, consistent performance for my playing style. For me it provides all the necessary speed and spin I need to play aggressively, but with the added control that helps me win more points and matches.

Reviews of Nittaku Fastarc G-1 (107)
Currently using on FH with Tibhar Stratus Power Wood and it is incredible. Every type of loop, from slow and spinny opener, compact drive or brushing for maximum spin works. Even works for flat hits, where it seems to grab the ball a bit and give it an unpredictable trajectory after the bounce (in a way that makes it harder for the opponent, not harder to land on the table). Not as fast as some of the rocket tensors like Tibhar MX-P, but it has much more control, seems to have almost the same spin and also better for serving and short game - and it still has a lot of gears when you hit hard. Best FH rubber I have tried by far. Also played on backhand a bit, where it also felt good - but you will need to adjust angles and be a bit more active in blocking because it does arc quite high on backhand. For countering, looping and pushing on backhand, it was great, so if you have an active backhand style it will suit you a lot.
Great rubber, I use it on my forehand in MAX thickness on a Joola CWX wood (very soft for defense) and I found it to be a very interesting rubber, fast, with lots of spin and control, I really liked the angle and Durability, I train 14 hours a week and in 5 weeks the rubber is identical to new
