Nittaku fastarc g-1 max thickness?

[Bz26]

Hello all..
Recently i found out nittaku have released the g-1 in "max thickness" but i thought the previous "super thick 2.0 mm" version was already the maximum since it has been said that the the fastarc rubbers have thicker topsheets than usual (correct me if i'm wrong) .

Wouldn't the new max version make this out of legal limits, unless thay have tampered with the topsheet making it thinner?

There is always a margin in rubbers. My C1 super thick is 3.8mm total thickness.

my two cents:
They won't produce anything new, just select the thickest rubbers from production and label then "max".

One of my G-1's has "THICK" printed on its backside, the other has "MAX". Thick is ~1.8mm, max about 2.0 I've seen reports about a 2.15mm version (supermax?) but haven't seen it on sale anywhere.

I have no need for it either.

It's available from TT11. The range goes:

• Medium (1.4mm)
• Thick (1.8mm)
• Super-thick (2mm)
• Max (2.15mm)

Like Yoass I've also been hesitant to try the new Max. The regular 2.0mm version is just so good!

Thank you all for the helpful info 😊😊

I am now using Max thickness very nice

Keen to hear your thoughts on the MAX version vs 2.0mm if you have a moment to share ...

I'm also curious to hear thoughts on Nittaku G-1 2.0 vs max comparison 😊

Up can someone who tried both Rubbers Max thickness and Super-Thick can tell if there is a huge diffrence ? thanks

not a huge difference. max feels a bit softer, bit more bouncy, can create slightly more spin and speed. MAX is quite nice for the forehand

 

[yoass]

DIfference is subtle. I've gone from SUPER THICK to MAX on my FH and it's like doppelmoral says.

I'd like more the super thick because prefer more direct play.

Is this only for G-1 or it applies to all the fastarc series? i.e C-1,P-1, S-1?

Super thick is 2.0mm and there is a max version too?

Do you guys boost your fastarc g1? Tempted to apply 1 thin layer of booster and see how it plays

I wouldn't do it, could mess with the durability of the rubber. If you want a boosted fastarc g1, try stiga mantra pro

Is this only for G-1

It seems so, at least on the German Nittaku website. Where, btw, they don´t offer P1.

 

[Sriver1]

G-1 is much nicer boosted.

My sheet curls inward so a thin layer of booster helps flatten it out to make it easier to affix.

And yes, plays nicer without really affecting its lifespan - like what, lose a few weeks out of its 8 months+ lifespan 😂

I've played both but didn't find any meaningful different.
