The Nittaku Fastarc C-1 rubber is "Fast" with an "Arc"! It is the ingenious creation from Nittaku combining a “tension spin” top sheet with a “soft strong sponge”. It takes the best attributes from earlier Fastarc rubbers: G-1 and S-1 and utilizes them to make the new Fastarc C-1. This combination creates an incredible grip and speed to allow players to create artistic shots.

Reviews Summary

✨ AI-generated summary of customer reviews.

Pros

  • The Nittaku Fastarc C-1 provides a lot of control, making it suitable for players who want to develop their technique. It is versatile, allowing for a variety of shots, and has a good range of gears for different types of play. The rubber is also durable and provides a good amount of spin.
  • The rubber is forgiving and provides security in gameplay. It is suitable for both offensive and defensive play, and is particularly effective for backhand shots. The rubber is also light, making it comfortable for extended play.
  • The rubber is not overly sensitive to incoming spin, making it easier to handle and control. It also has a good grip, allowing for effective serves and shots. The rubber's response is linear on almost every stroke, providing great precision in placement.

Cons

  • Some users have noted that the rubber can lose its speed over time, reducing its effectiveness in gameplay. The edge of the rubber is also reported to be brittle, causing parts to come off easily.
  • The rubber requires good technique and power to bring out its full performance. Without the right technique, the rubber may perform just like an ordinary, cheap rubber.
  • The sponge of the rubber is firm and becomes firmer over time. The topsheet has medium spin and the speed is slow, similar to a Sriver. Some users do not recommend this product due to these characteristics.

Great Rubber for the BH
Review helpful?    Yes | No

High quality rubber. Sponge is hard enough to produce a lot of speed but the rubber is quite soft what is giving good amount of control what is especially noticable in active block/smashes. I had problems only to used to FH topspin-topspin attacks but it's maybe caused by jump from tacky chinese type rubber. Overall It's worth money.

I dont know why some people say that it is inferior to G-1. Its same top sheet. Being a bit softer than G-1, 45 degrees (not a soft rubber) it is a little slower than G-1. But still fast. Still great spin. Durability is best with G-1. Not bouncy like some tensor runners. Superb control. Best BH. Though I loved it on FH too. One of the best.

I use Nittaku Fastarc C-1 on my backhand.
It took me only about ten hours of play to adjust my habits after change my Andro Hexer Grip SFX to this Nittaku rubber. And I dont want to come back to Andro, in spite of I really liked it before, because in my opinion, the Nittaku Fastarc C-1 is at least as good as Andro Hexer Grip SFX in close to table play and no doubt is much better in mid distance strikes.
Of course I know there are exists faster, spinnier and more dangerous rubbers for my opponents, but for 47 years old amateur player as I am, I think that Nittaku Fastarc C-1 is an ideal option.
I have a lot of control, quite good amount of spin and nice level of speed I'm able to handle. And what is the most important I can create various types of strikes and have a really huge fun of play.
Nittaku Fastarc C-1 is very stable and repeatable in close to table play. Blocks are easy and I have full control to place the ball where I want. My hits are not too slow, so there are not too easy to pick up for my opponent. The amount of spin I can create is a bit lower than with Andro Hexer Grip SFX but still is really good and on the other hand I have no problem to handle the incoming rotation.
When playing further away from the table, I have enough power and control at the same time, and changing/reversing of incoming rotation is not a big deal.
With the Nittaku Fastarc C-1 I can effectively do all sorts of serves - short, long, forwardspin, backspin, sidespin, no spin... It's really simple.
And one more very important thing for me - as I wrote above - I don't like the catapult effect, which is characteristic of many modern rubbers, so I'm glad that with this rubber it is practically unnoticeable.

I have used both this rubber and Fastarc G-1 at 2.0mm on the Nittaku Acoustic and personally prefer the C-1 over the G-1 for my current level. I am USATT 1700 offensive looper and the C-1 gives me more forgiveness, dwell, and control on my shots. I did notice it was more insensitive to spin than G-1, which made it less effort to loop an underspin ball. Overall, I did not notice too much difference in speed/spin. Both are good offensive rubbers. I am still able to make strong winners against my opponent and this rubber plays great away from the table. I'd say if you're debating on whether to choose between C-1 or G-1, choose C-1 if you need the added control and choose G-1 if you want the slight increase in speed/spin. For me, this is definitely my new favorite rubber.
