Hi together,
i am currently playing the Nittaku Fastarc G1 on my FH and like to know if anybody of you has tested or played both of these rubbers?
How can these two rubbers be compared to each other.
Especially the following points are interesting for me:
- Base speed, which one is slower?
- Catapult effect. Which one has less of it?
- opening topspin on underspin, which one is easier (has higher / lower / shorter / longer curve)
- spin sensitivity
- blocking characteristics, active or passively played. which one behaves easier?
- Open play situations (topspin/drives/smashes) after the first topspin a block. Which one is easier to handle, has more dwell and touch?
All in all I like the G1 on my FH, because its fairly linear and behaves as you expect while playing.
Sometimes I have problems to control the rubber in match situations when the first topspin is blocked by the opponent. The balls tend to go a bit too long or are too dynamic for my taste, although I know that this is a technical issue.
So i am very happy to hear your thoughts on that.
