10/02/2025 Super Solid Review by Thomas Wilczek

Quality

I dont know why some people say that it is inferior to G-1. Its same top sheet. Being a bit softer than G-1, 45 degrees (not a soft rubber) it is a little slower than G-1. But still fast. Still great spin. Durability is best with G-1. Not bouncy like some tensor runners. Superb control. Best BH. Though I loved it on FH too. One of the best.

A little softer (45 degrees) with the same top sheet as G-1 and doesn't have the same amount of speed or catapult (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). I liked it better in the short game as well compared to G-1 as I thought G-1 had a tendency to be a little bit bouncy; C-1 not so much. Great control and spin, and I enjoyed it more than G-1.

28/01/2025 Great backhand rubber Review by Nik Uhlir

Quality

I recently tried this rubber as a replacement for nittaku g-1 on my backhand. With g-1, I struggled with consistency and kept hitting the ball off the table. With c-1, I am able to produce backhands with high spin, and which are a little shorter so they stay on the table. It is also easy to generate very spinny backhand serves with this rubber. Highly recommend it for anyone who likes the playing characteristics of g1 but who needs a little more control.

10/01/2025 Good for backhand Review by Brice H

Quality

Tl;Dr : similar to G-1 but softer. More comfortable in short game, can do crazy spins and arcs *but* it bottoms out on forehand counterloops or far from the table. Perfect for BH until advanced, good for FH until intermediate. I will switch to G-1 or T05 on FH but keep this BH for now. On ZJK ALC blade.

13/11/2024 Perfect rubber for spin and block game Review by ismail gokhan

Quality

Exellent rubber for intermidiate players. Great durability. Dont hasitate to try. Very balanced at spin, speed and control. Good on kind of ALC blades

30/10/2024 Love it Review by Elie

Quality

Been using this on my backhand with Nittaku Fastarc G-1 on my forehand.
The C-1 I got used to immediately and I feel way more confident looping backspin compared to my previous rubber which was Joola Rhyzen Ice. It's also faster than the Ice.

The G-1 is also nice, but is taking me more time to get used to. Both are much faster than my previous rubbers.

Perfect

13/08/2024 Best backhand rubber ever Review by Koichi Hara

Quality

First off, my background and previous rubbers I've used. I play table tennis for about 8 years now and have tried countless different rubbers over the years. For reference here are some I used on backhand: Tenergy 05, 19, 80, 64, 05fx, Dignics 09c, 05, 80, Fastarc G1, Hurricane 3 Neo and a few more.

Having tried multiple different rubbers you discover what works best for you. Especially when developing your technique a softer rubber helps you in gaining confidence and engaging the rubber itself. That was my main concern for most other backhand rubbers I have tried. With a small flick of the wrist you can already create a lot of spin and speed whereas this was not possible for most other rubbers. They needed more power to be "activated".

The spin this rubber produces is very respectable. Often times my opponents miss their blocks of my topspins because of it.
The speed is also very decent. It won't be the fastest rubber out there but it makes up for it with its control. Most previously mentioned rubbers lack control when going for risky shots whereas this rubber gives you confidence to pull off more difficult shots like chop blocks, backhand punch etc. with relative ease.
The durability of this rubber is also commendable. I play the Tibhar MK on my forehand and I have play approx. 2 sheets of it whilst keeping the same sheet of Fastarc C1. So that's another big advantage, its longevity.

To sum up this rubber excels in the control and spin department whereas speed is respectable, but not the highest. A very good choice for any intermediate player who wants to develop their technique and needs a rubber to give him/her confidence to rip through the ball with topspins. I keep questioning my forehand rubbers looking for the perfect one. For my backhand I'm locked in: This is the one. I would recommend it to everybody. My favorite rubber by far for backhand

Good control, nice for beginners

I am loving this rubber , especially paired with the G-1 on the FH . Very consistent, more bouncy which is great for my back hand

10/01/2024 good forehand rubber Review by Aaron Miller

Quality

I've been using this on my forehand for about 1.5 years. This rubber has good grip and spin and a reasonable lifetime. I like the Fastarc series since the rubbers have a lighter weight than many and I try to keep the overall weight of my bat down as low as possible. I use the 1.8 sponge.

27/11/2023 Best value Review by Steve Hochman

Quality

I've been using Fastarc for many years and love it. Speed and spin is quite good and I'm able to maintain control even with very offensive blade. I use G1 on the backhand as the sponge is harder. It makes flicks and kills easier, yet still able to spin loops with it. I use C1 with softer sponge on forehand as my forehand loop needs some additional assistance. C1/G1 combo works well for me.

03/12/2022 Soft sponge with tacky top sheet Review by TableTT

Quality

It grabs the ball and generates good speed. You can control the trajectory easily. It is comparable to Andro Rasanter R48, but a little slower.

22/06/2022 similar to vega europe Review by Ardak

Quality

It is a very light rubber. It has no spin and power of G-1. Not in the same league with G-1. I felt like I was playing with Xiom Vega Europe. A little faster, better version of Vega Europe. The rubber is not for power loops. C-1 is softer than P-1. P-1 is softer than G-1.

14/06/2022 Little better than Xiom Vega Europe Review by Ardak

Quality

It is different from G-1. It has less spin, speed, and power compared to G-1. Softer sponge. It is similar to Xiom Vega Europe.

I like it on my backhand.

04/09/2020 very good rubber Review by David

Quality

I think I'm not able to get everything out of this rubber because I'm just not at that level. This is a good thing, I can use this for a long time to develop further. Durability seems quite good, still good grip after lots of playing outdoors in the sun and with all the dust and dirt and so on. (I clean it regularly though).
I pair it with a Nittaku Miyabi in 1.8mm. plenty fast, good control, amazing spin potential.

09/07/2020 Softer, more control than G-1 Review by Hoang Vu

Quality

Excellent backhand rubber, if G-1 is like Tenergy 05, C-1 is the Tenergy 80 or 64,
very spiny grippy, good quality at a much cheaper price compare to butterfly rubber, a good alternative.

29/06/2020 Don't like this rubber Review by Damir Krznaric

28/01/2020 Incredible for most attacking players Review by Mark Hendricks

Quality

Most of this review will be based on tenergy 05 or Dignics 05 since that is what I used before. This rubber is much softer than those and has fewer gears. I was surprised to see that Fastarc c1 was just as fast as tenergy, and was still able to produce the huge spin I was used to with tenergy. The biggest change was the angle of the catch of this rubber. With tenergy, I was used to having a closed-angle racket when hitting the ball but this does not work with this rubber at all. Will take getting used to.
After getting used to the rubber, I actually prefer it to tenergy. I still receive large amounts of spin and speed but have way more control. For anyone under usatt 2200, I would highly recommend this rubber. Above that skill level, players typically don’t need the control as much.

Highs:
Control, speed, spin, price

Lows:
No gears. It takes a couple of weeks to get used to it.

My son uses it as a B/H rubber. Good quality and good control but is not that durable.

17/10/2019 Really Nice Balls Review by Timothy Swensen

Quality

The feel of these new "Tour" balls is similar to the D40+, I feel the quality control is better. The plastic seems softer than that used in the Nittaku 40+ 3-star, which is still my gold standard for feel and sound, when new. I would be happy playing this ball all the time, but my colleagues still prefer the Nittaku, and once you are used to that ball, this one takes a little time to get used to.

Still, a very nice ball, and a step up from the regular D40+

05/09/2019 Great backhand rubber Review by JJ

Quality

I really like this rubber on my backhand side. Initially, I was afraid that the rubber is too soft. However, when I glue it, I get a very good feel for the balls. For my backhand rubbers, I have tried Yasaka Razka X soft and Tibhar Evolution FX-P. I like this rubber better than either of them. I feel good control on this rubber. Tibhar Evolution FX-P by contrast almost has no grip. I am surprised because Tibhar Evolution series has been thought of as good replacement for the expensive Tenergy series. I disagree with that assessment. Anyway, I highly recommend Nittaku Fastarc series.

14/08/2019 High quality OFF rubber Review by Rob Vermelis

Quality

Less popular than the G-1 but for my playing style this rubber suits better. Tried G-1 as well and the C-1 is a bit softer and offers more control. Decent rubber for both fast topspin and controlled well-placed topspin. If you are familiar with the Tibhar Evo rubbers, the C-1 can be compared with EL-S.

08/07/2019 Отличная накладка Review by Pavel Eliseenkov

Это моя первая самостоятельно сборная ракетка. Раньше играл готовой ракеткой Stiga. По сравнению с накладками на Stiga, накладка Nittaku Fastarc C-1 просто делает все, что я захочу. Поставил на игру слева.

13/04/2019 Good backhand rubber Review by George Li

Quality

The balance between spin and speed makes this an excellent backhand rubber.

22/03/2019 Excellent Review by Steve Hochman

Quality

I switched from Hammond and Hammond Pro Alpha and have been VERY pleased with both G-1 and C-1 Fastarc. I use the G-1 on the backhand and the C-1 on the forehand. The sponge on the C-1 is a bit softer and results in a tad more spin. G-1 is still excellent for looping but is also fantastic for quick, flat, pick hitting, which is my backhand game. I have enough wrist on my backhand loop to still generate a lot of spin but have the flexibility to pick hit with it as well. C-1 I need on my forehand to help me generate more spin. Both are fantastic and seem to last well.

28/02/2019 Very satisfied Review by ashwin

Quality

I had Hammond pro Beta on forehand and Nano Spin II S on backhand. I switched to Nittaku Fastarc C1 on both forehand and backhand. It is great rubber and did not have any problem with adjustment to new rubber. Has good control and spin.

08/01/2019 The perfect backhand rubber for the intermediate player. Review by Javier Martinez de Navascues

Quality

If you want to start taking your backhand technique to the next level, this is the rubber you need. It acts like the backhand counterpart to the G-1 and I'm really happy with the results I'm getting. Recommended!

27/05/2018 Excellent! Review by Olivier Gourdin

Quality

I use it on FH on a blade all.

Very good in smash, loop and cut ball. Nice rubber for my low level. Very trust in this rubber.... and very good control too.

But it feel that the black is a bit more harder than the red for the same thickness

But good product
Thanks TT11

12/05/2018 High speed Review by Luis Garcia

Quality

I have it for my backhand. It is very reliable, very fast; if you prefer more spin, better use the G1.

06/12/2017 Reliable rubber for my backhand Review by Jason C

Quality

I found Fastarc c1 to be in between the classic rubber tier (Sriver, Mark V) and the high performance tier (Tenergy, etc). I think it is a good choice if you don't know what you want since it does most shots adequately e.g. loop, push, block, etc. Not blazingly fast but it's a good enough match for my Carbonado 145. Has a surprising amount of spin (more than Rozena, less than Tenergy 80/G1) and medium arc. This will likely be my go to backhand rubber if my EJ-ing days ever come to an end. While a little boring it is reliable and will at least meet you halfway.

Not the fastest rubber, but really great control for spins and looping.

24/06/2015 red color C-1 Review by STEPHEN CHOW

Quality

top rubber sheet is shinny,transparent and soft comparing to the last C-1 ,which has tenergy like top sheet, matt,opaque and crisp.It lacks the quick,solid response of the last C-1 close at table,and has a higher arc at looping.
It feels more like S-1 to me . I prefer the last c-1 i have.

Eriti eeskätt surumisel väga hea.Tõeliselt kiire.Kauaaegsel sparringupartneril tekkisid kohe probleemid kohanemisega.Alguses tundus,et tagantkätt mängides pole nii hea kui võiks.Hiljem analüüsides leidsin,et pigem on eksimistes süüdi minu aeglane käsi(palli ärapõrge kummi pinnalt liiga kiire).Kui keskendusin randme ja kogu käe kiirusele, hakkasid ka tagantkäe surumised õnnestuma.
Ostuga rahul!
