Nittaku Fastarc Rubbers

For a long time, Nittaku Fastarc rubbers were only available in Asia. There, this rubber series is among the top of the best-seller lists! Hence, it is not a surprise that now, the Nittaku Fastarc rubbers have a huge positive impact also in Europe, for example.

The Number 1 in Japan and a real "killer rubber": Nittaku Fastarc G-1

The Nittaku Fastarc G-1 should be a familiar term for all offensive attackers. In Japan, this highly rotational, hard, and offensive table tennis rubber is the absolute number 1 among modern tensors. Even the well-known and highly popular Tenergy cannot keep up with such high sales figures of this Nittaku rubber.

Considering the details of the Fastarc G1, this rubber exhibits a tight and catchy topsheet, which is great to do dangerous and powerful topspins. The immense dynamics and the linear, powerful acceleration profile of the Fastarc G-1 result in very precise and extremely dangerous attacking strokes.

During the passive game, this table tennis rubber "takes" much spin coming from your opponent and only exhibits a low catapult effect. During the active game, however, this rubber is a real killer! In case you are searching for even more spin and speed during your topspin game, the Nittaku Fastarc G1 is worth a consideration!

The dynamical one: Nittaku Fastarc P-1

The Nittaku Fastarc P-1 is equipped with a medium-soft topsheet, which exhibits a slightly increased catapult effect compared to the G1. Combined with a medium-hard sponge, the Fastarc P1 is more suitable for the game from the mid distance.

During the "open" game, there is good dynamics. Since the P-1 is a fast rubber made for attacks, the flexible topsheet of the P-1 does not forgive every mistake. However, there is a good feeling for the ball and a pleasant feedback.

The spinny Golden Mean: Nittaku Fastarc C-1

The Nittaku Fastarc C-1 is the little brother of the Fastarc G-1. Due to its slightly softer sponge (medium), but at the same time similarly tight and catchy topsheet, this rubber is designed for players aiming to score by means of medium-fast and spinny topspins. During the passive game, this rubber offers a good control so you can generate much backspin.

Please note that the Nittaku Fastarc C1 is not a rubber for beginners. An advanced technique, regular training sessions, and a bit of feeling are the required main ingredients in order to fully exploit the potential of this rubber. If you are using active but safe topspin strokes, or if you simply need a bit more control on your backhand (without losing a good variability during attacks), then the Fastarc C1 would be a good choice.

The rubber with a great catapult effect: Nittaku Fastarc S-1

The Nittaku Fastarc S-1 is another alternative within the Nittaku Fastarc series. Although this rubber has a medium-hard sponge, it behaves clearly softer and with a larger catapult effect compared to the other Fastarc rubbers. Also, the Nittaku Fastarc S1 is not very prone to spin and exhibits a relatively flat trajectory of the ball.

These features make the Fastarc S-1 the ideal companion for passive gaming situations. Players, who are having trouble with the spin coming from the opponent, or who simply need a good catapult support, can truly rely on the S-1. Despite all these properties, the Nittaku Fastarc S1 is a table tennis rubber which has a good speed during attacks. Hence, also an active game goes off the hand quite easily.

Our insider tip for the new plastic balls: The racket "Stiga Infinity ARC"

The biggest issue in terms of the new plastic balls is the lower amount of rotation compared to the former celluloid balls. This is our own experience, and also the feedback of many customers and/or table tennis friends. For this reason we have conceptualized a table tennis racket which allows maximum rotation during the attacking game. We have done this in cooperation with our partner TT-Spin.com (TT-Spin.de).

The result is the Stiga Infinity ARC. This racket combines the popular and offensive all-wood blade Stiga Infinity VPS V with the Nittaku Fastarc rubbers. In our pre-selection, we have chosen the Nittaku Fastarc G-1 for the forehand. This results in maximum spin and much power. For the backhand, the Nittaku Fastarc C-1 was selected to allow safe topspin openers and more control.

Of course, you can also select the other Nittaku Fastarc rubbers for this racket!
