From manufacturer:

Speed	97.0 / 100
Spin	99.0 / 100
Control	66.0 / 100
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	No

From community:

Speed	8.6
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	9.0
Control	8.3
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	4.8 - Medium tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	5.6 - Medium-high
Weight	5.3 - Medium-heavy
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	5.1 - Medium
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	9.0 - Many gears
Durability	8.1 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	8.9
Overall	8.9 4.5

Description of Nittaku Fastarc G-1

The NITTAKU Fastarc G-1 rubber is "Fast" with an "Arc"! A power topsheet with a built-in tension power sponge produces the ideal combination of ball speed and ball arc -- an outstanding powerful spin ball.
Choose Fastarc G-1 for more spin with great power, and choose Fastarc S-1 for more speed with great spin.

This is a great rubber with a lot of spin and very good speed. I put this on the backhand of my ma lin extra offensive blade with acuda s1 on forehand. I am looking for a different rubber for forehand though. I want something with a lot of spin but not a really soft sponge. Any suggestions?

Just replaced Tenergy 25 FX with Fstarc G1. Made in Germany. The Japanese Nittaku website says Japan's female TT star Ishikawa uses this rubber. It feels faster and spinner than Tenergy, but a bit heavier. A little brittle. One of the best rubbers I've ever used. Am an offensive pen-hold player.

Very good rubber! A lot of spin and speed but also good control. I use it on fh and bh. I love this rubber!

I really like FastArc G1 - it can handle looping, blocking, pushing just fine. FastArc G1 has proven to be awesome in all aspects and all types of strokes from flat to ultra spinny. In my opinion it has about the perfect amount of tackiness, not so much like chinese rubber where you have to throw the ball of the paddle or it will stick, but an ample amount that you can mask really heavy serves and short pushes. So far I like it more than the replacement Fastarc C-1. The C-1 is 2.0 max vs. 2.1 for the G-1 and the C-1 is not as tacky.
