About this product

The fastest of the Fastarc rubbers at 15.25, with spin of 12.25 — marginally below G-1’s 12.5.

At 35 degrees, or 45 on the German scale, it is the softest of the three. Getting this much speed from a soft sponge is what defines the rubber: it responds to a light stroke rather than requiring a heavy one.

That makes it well suited to the backhand, where the short swing struggles to compress a sponge deeply. A sponge in the mid-40s responds to that shorter action, which is why setups pairing G-1 on the forehand with C-1 on the backhand are common.

The softness does cap the power available. For a player looking to end points with the forehand it will feel short of what is needed.

What the numbers say

Inverted, 35° (45° German scale) sponge. Its speed of 9.2 ranks 6 of 23 rubbers, on the high side. The other axes sit at a similar level, so the profile is well balanced. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.

Where this rubber sits among Nittaku inverted rubbers
