The FASTARC G-1 is a very popular table tennis rubber for offensive players. Thanks to its grippy surface and 47.5° hard sponge, it allows players to generate high speeds with extreme spin. It has very little catapult effect and plays very directly and cleanly. This makes it particularly appealing to players who are active at the net and want clear, reliable ball contact.

This is what the Fastarc G-1 feels like in-game.

The feel of the ball is solid, direct, and clear.

The Fastarc G-1 doesn't react erratically and doesn't just catapult the ball out uncontrollably. Instead, you getclear feedback on your own technique. This feels particularly controlled, especially on your first topspin shot and when making spin-heavy opening shots. The slightly higher trajectory also helps you lose fewer points due to net errors.
