Customer review for Nittaku Fastarc G-1

External Review for Nittaku Fastarc G-1 on January 9, 2025

Switched to this from chinese rubbers, and the switch was very seamless. Its just a solid rubber that does everything well. Good spin, good speed. A bit hard to control in the short game, and quite difficult to chop with, but its really easy to get the ball on the table on the attacking strokes. Similar to Rakza 7, but I believe rakza's topsheet is a bit softer, thus more bouncy on a light stroke, whereas with the G1 you need to be a bit more active. Top end spin as well as speed seems to be faster. It's got what I call linear catapult - its really easy to predict how the ball with behave. Ive got a clear comparison to the Rakza XX, which is the next generation of rubbers, and here if you swing too passively the ball just dies, which is great for the short game, but sometimes under pressure makes it difficult to get a consistent loop on the table. The G1 however always delivers the catapult effect just as you'd expect it.
