Nittaku Fastarc C-1 - offensive rubber with more catapult and a pleasant feel
The Nittaku Fastarc C-1 is the right choice for offensive players who are looking for a dynamic attacking game but do not want to play a rubber that is too hard or too direct. It combines a grippy top sheet with a slightly softer sponge and thus provides an offensive feel with a noticeable catapult and good ball acceleration.
Who is the Nittaku Fastarc C-1 suitable for?
The Nittaku Fastarc C-1 is particularly suitable for offensive table tennis players who are looking for a modern offensive rubber with good speed, but prefer a slightly more comfortable, more elastic feel. It is interesting for players who:
- play offensively and want to actively apply pressure
- do not quite warm up to a rubber that is too hard
- want a little more catapult and easier acceleration
- are looking for an offensive rubber that plays dynamically without being unstable
Playing characteristics of the Nittaku Fastarc C-1
Compared to the Fastarc G-1, the Nittaku Fastarc C-1 plays a little softer, livelier and more accessible. The ball bounces off the racket a little more dynamically, which is particularly noticeable on active shots and short movements. The Fastarc C-1 provides very good support, especially when you don't want to generate speed solely through maximum hardness.
The grippy surface supports a secure topspin game, even if the focus of the C-1 is less on maximum rotation and more on a good mix of spin, speed and comfort. The flight curve is somewhat flatter and more direct compared to the G-1.
How the Fastarc C-1 supports your game
The C-1 is particularly helpful if you want to build up your game with active topspins, counter-attacks and powerful balls. The softer sponge makes the rubber more accessible and helps you to generate pace more easily than with a harder, more direct rubber.
This makes it particularly interesting for players who play offensively but do not want to invest all their energy into every ball. The rubber conveys a pleasant degree of dynamism without feeling too soft or imprecise.
Comparison of Fastarc C-1 vs. G-1
Both Fastarc rubbers are similar in terms of speed. The Nittaku Fastarc C-1 has a slightly softer sponge and therefore more catapult. The catapult effect helps you to generate a lot of speed and pressure, as the ball is literally catapulted out of the rubber. However, it is not quite as precise as the Fastarc G-1.
So if you are looking for maximum spin and a very clear and direct rubber, then the Fastarc G-1 is the better choice.
