Customer review for Nittaku Fastarc C-1

External Review for Nittaku Fastarc C-1 on December 4, 2021

UPDATE from 12/2021:
Although I have actually excellent experiences with the Fastarc G1 (... on my Stuor Nobilis Hinoki ZLC blade, FH side), I had to try a slightly softer rubber again !!!
Facts: C-1 in black, Super Thick (2 mm), sponge hardness 45 degree. Weight in orig. packing 95 g, uncut 65 g, on my blade (157 x 150 mm) 45 g.
This softer version of the G-1 (- same top sheet!) has more catapult as the G-1. The spin development is not far away from the G-1 and too on a very high level.
Although I have actually excellent experiences with the Fastarc G1 (- ... in connection with my Stuor Nobilis Hinoki ZLC blade, at my FH), I definitely had to try a slightly softer rubber again!
This softer version of the G-1 (- same top sheet!) creates in the short game more speed (catapult) as the G-1.
The spin development is not far away from the G-1 and too on a very high level. With the G-1 the topspin jumps out much flatter !!! ... on the other hand, the "angle play" with the C-1 is more difficult. In the end, I had the impression in many game situations that the C-1 was more "forgiving" and gives my game more security !!!
CONCLUSION: this C-1 is the best rubber with a 45 degree sponge that I have played so far. (- however, there weren't that many either. ;-P ) - definitely try it !!!
( - if you like more informations, about this rubber ... https://www.tt-spin.de/nittaku-fastarc-c-1/ )
Adendum: I recently became the proud owner of a Butterfly Zhang Jike TAMCA 5000. This blade, slower than my Stuor Nobilis, offers a significantly better performance ( ... together with the C-1), as it clearly needs catapult-stronger rubber (... than the G-1). - so I am also well advised (on my BH side) with the 45 degree hard Tibhar Aurus Select (in 1.7 mm) !!!
- a dreamlike combination. :-P
... next I will review the Aurus Select
