Customer review for Nittaku Fastarc G-1

Review by jamesr (Verified Customer) for Nittaku Fastarc G-1 on December 25, 2024

I have been playing table tennis for 54 years. At my best I was rated USATT 1900 double winged looper but relying more on finesse than going through people. Over the last 54 years I have tested a lot of equipment. There is a good reason why this rubber is the best selling rubber in Asia and one of the top selling rubbers. For those technically proficient enough to harness all the formidable capabilities of this rubber, it does not leave much to be desired. If your strokes are technically sound and you are well trained and coached understanding your own unique style of table tennis then adjusting to this rubber is very easy. It is a very balanced rubber in terms of speed, spin and control. Compared to other high-end rubbers, I think it offers a very good value proposition at its price point. There comes a point in a table tennis players life when they can adjust to pretty much any equipment. At that point it simply becomes a question of value and training. I don't see and I could not find any weak points of this rubber. If it is too fast or if the throw is too high or too long or if it is very spin, sensitive, etc. It is not the rubber. It is the table tennis player. Get training. Take lessons. Get educated and don't blame the equipment. This rubber plays a lot better than I am capable of playing. If I can get 50% of its capabilities out of it then I am happy.
