Customer review for Nittaku Fastarc C-1

External Review for Nittaku Fastarc C-1 on August 28, 2024

I use this rubber after FastArc G1, Xiom Omega V pro, Xiom Omega VII, Thibar MX-S. Compared to Omega V Pro, let say that C1 is Mark V : no catapult effect, soft contact, ball on table. Compared to MX-S : if you are rightly placed and manage the low throw, MX-S will allow you to kill the point with a sure winner. C1 is slower. But C1 is much easier to use in all sorts of situations, and allows also to score winners, because the ball has got rotation and you can get angles. C1 is very much controlled, still fast. Lower throw than G1, but not low. Block is ok. Service is good. Chop is very good. And touch play at the net is extremely easy. The rubber is not bouncy so one can play with ease very short strokes, as well as long ones. The rubber is a tensor that does not feel like a tensor. The plus compared to G1 is the softness that allows for more rotation, more angles, and more control. In the end, I can play more aggressively and on occasion faster than I would play with G1. At the beginning, I was longing for FastArc G1 remarkable pace and high throw. But after a period of adaptation, I do not regret to have moved to C1.
