We were introduced to John Davey, CEO & Founder of Fast Track Tennis, by Ian Rapport, CEO & Founder of Golden Slam Marketing. Ian recently signed up Fast Track Tennis as a new client and says, “We’ll be spreading the word about this innovative training system that’s making tennis more accessible to the next generation of players and future stars.”

The idea behind Fast Track Tennis is pretty simple: It’s a patented Feedback System, a portable, affordable training device that sets up ANYTIME / ANYWHERE, indoors or out, in any small area for real ball hitting – no court, partner, or ball pickup needed.

From the Fast Track Tennis website: John Davey is a self-taught tennis player and former standout #1 singles player on his NCAA Division 1 team. Aspiring to play professionally after college but slowed by injury, he refocused on a successful career on Wall Street before turning to entrepreneurship.

John Davey

“After selling my last business, I was coaching for fun at a local club, but I saw so many people getting discouraged by the steep and expensive learning curve. I could relate since my parents couldn't afford tennis lessons, so I had to teach myself by hitting against a wall. I started thinking about ways to make learning and practicing easier, less expensive, and more fun, and Fast Track Tennis was born.”

John sees Fast Track Tennis as a home-use product that can be strategically utilized by teaching pros to support their programs and give their students an opportunity to hit more balls with purpose between lessons.

He states on his website, “All tennis players rely on repetitive strokes to form instinctive brain-body activation (muscle memory), but getting enough reps in practice is a challenge. As a rule, it takes 1,000+ repetitions for a movement to become second nature.
Twenty real ball feeds per minute to a consistent spot means over 1,000 hits in an hour with zero wasted time picking up balls. Nothing else even comes close for accelerating muscle memory and your game.”

Olympic champion Zina Garrison has partnered with Fast Track Tennis to launch a national program that uses the company's patented portable training system and an "1-2-3 Method" learn-to-play program to make tennis more accessible and fun for new players. The goal is to bring the sport into schools, parks, and communities, allowing people to learn the fundamentals of tennis and get on a real court faster, without the need for expensive lessons or a dedicated court.
