Would you say C1 is a low throw rubber? For my personal taste, C1 borders on a bit too low throw.
In a bit of panic I had to use it as a replacement BH rubber for one of my blades, Yasaka Falck Carbon. Just had to replace Sanwei Gear Hyper as BH rubber, since I really, really hate low throw on BH. Rubbers I like on BH with "normal" to high throw are Xiom Vega Korea and Yinhe Blue moon.

Also, I'm curious about Loki Germany on BH. If it's low throw, it's no option for me.
C1 has a medium arc, let's say. Loki Germany, if unboosted, has a medium-low arc. When boosted, it has a medium arc. I'm playing currently with Loki Germany by the way, it has subtle differences with C1 that makes me prefer it : it's easier for me to loop on serve returns.

No, C-1 isn't low throw. See this set of Fastarc reviews by @The Pong Professor :


"The rubber’s medium-high to high throw provides plenty of safety over the net when executing FH loops against heavy backspin."

Maybe my Yasaka Falck Carbon has low throw? :unsure: Is it even possible that a blade exhibits low or high throw?

G1 fh good. Not overly bouncy like T05, good to learn proper fh mechanics.

P/S: as an added bonus, it is a very long lasting rubber. Before there ever was Zyre03, G1 was it!
