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.

Nittaku Fastarc C-1
by Nittaku
· Part of Nittaku Fastarc Series
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. Speed: 96
Spin: 95
Control: 68
Hardness: Medium

Reviews of Nittaku Fastarc C-1 (27)
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.
Very good for backhand. it has huge amounts of spin. Good for an allround playing style.
Good offensive rubber for forehand, not very tacky and not very spinny but it's great weapon when you get use to it and make the strokes right.
