Nittaku Fastarc S-1 - soft offensive rubber with a strong catapult
The Nittaku Fastarc S-1 is an offensive table tennis rubber for players looking for a softer feel, lots of dynamics and a noticeable catapult. Within the Fastarc series, it stands for a lively ball bounce, a flatter trajectory and a very good feel for soft topspins. Especially in active offensive play, the rubber helps you to generate speed more easily and to play the ball forward with pressure.
The most important features at a glance
The Nittaku Fastarc S-1 is the softest rubber in the Fastarc series and also one of the fastest. The sponge with approx. 45° in combination with the grippy topsheet ensures high speed, clear momentum and a noticeable catapult. This results in a rubber that takes the ball well and offers you a lot of support in the topspin game.
The flight curve is rather flat. This makes the Nittaku Fastarc S-1 particularly interesting for players who want to take the ball early, actively accelerate and build up their offense directly.
How the Nittaku Fastarc S-1 plays
In play, the Nittaku Fastarc S-1 has a very lively character. The ball bounces dynamically out of the rubber without requiring maximum physical effort in every situation. The rubber really comes into its own on the first topspin and on soft offensive shots. Ball contact feels pleasant, the rubber provides good feedback and supports a fluid, offensive game.
Thanks to its softer construction, the sponge of the Fastarc S-1 compresses well. This provides a lot of feel and a slight acceleration in active play, but can also require a little more control in very fast rallies.
Who is the Nittaku Fastarc S-1 suitable for?
The Nittaku Fastarc S-1 is particularly suitable for offensive players who want a softer touch and more support in the active topspin game. It is particularly suitable for players who want to develop their offensive game not only through hardness, but also through ball feel, catapult and dynamics.
The rubber is well suited to players who:
- play offensively and actively accelerate the ball
- like a strong catapult
- prefer a softer rubber with clear feedback
- want to hit topspins with feeling and dynamism
How the Fastarc S-1 supports you in the game
The Nittaku Fastarc S-1 is particularly helpful if you want to generate speed more easily in offensive play without sacrificing a pleasant feel for the ball. It is particularly useful for attracting topspin, powerful follow-throughs and active rallies in which the ball is played early and boldly.
This is an exciting alternative especially for players who are not entirely comfortable with very hard rubbers or who are looking for more feel on the first offensive ball. The rubber provides confidence in soft topspin and at the same time is dynamic enough to create offensive rallies.
Our conclusion on the Fastarc S-1
The Nittaku Fastarc S-1 is not a rubber for players looking for maximum composure, particularly high passive control or a very hard touch. Its strength clearly lies in dynamic offensive play with softer contact and a noticeable catapult.
Especially in fast rallies, the lively character may require a little more active control. In return, you get a rubber that gives you a lot of support in topspin play and is designed to be offensive without being blunt and hard.
