Nittaku Fastarc G-1 - Extremely popular offensive rubber with lots of spin
The FASTARC G-1 is a very popular table tennis rubber for offensive players. Thanks to its grippy surface and the 47.5° hard sponge, high speeds with extremely high spin can be generated. It has little catapult and plays very directly and clearly. This makes it particularly interesting for players who work actively and want clear, reliable ball contact.
Within the Fastarc series, the Fastarc G-1 is the most direct and stable version of all three rubbers.
