Nittaku Fastarc C-1

The Nittaku Fastarc C-1 is a modern offensive inverted rubber developed for dynamic attacking play. It combines a grippy top-sheet with a slightly softer45°ESNtensor sponge, yielding a noticeable catapult effect and excellent ball acceleration. The result is a rubber that feels lively and accessible without sacrificing the precision needed for aggressive strokes. Compared to the classic Fastarc G-1, the C-1 trades some ultimate spin and a very direct, hard feel for a more elastic, forgiving response and a flatter ball trajectory. This makes it especially appealing to offensive players who prefer to generate pace through sponge activation rather than relying on an extremely hard surface. The rubber supports a confident topspin game, quick counters, and powerful drives, offering a harmonious mix of speed, spin, and comfort. Its dynamic gear range allows effective transition between short touch play and full-stroke attacks, while the medium-soft sponge keeps the feel pleasant and reduces the physical effort needed on each shot. Built in Germany with modern high-tension technology, the Fastarc C-1 is a versatile choice for intermediate to advanced players seeking an offensive weapon that blends catapult effect with ease of use, performing best when paired with OFF- to OFF+ blades.
