FASTFIRSTTM = Distance + Accuracy
 Proven to result in significant gains in your clubhead speed!

    I Teach Clubhead Speed

Today golf is a sport - a power game. By taking advantage of today's equipment, we're capable of significantly lower scores by producing longer, more accurate ball flight.

Powerful shots require clubhead speed.

Studies over the past decade have clearly shown that the greatest advantage enjoyed by elite players over others is that elite players generate greater distance thus produce lower scores. Compared to an accomplished amateur, even the average tour player has a 25 to 35 yard advantage swinging a driver.

It is puzzling to me that in a sport that demands the longest ball flight, producing distance is discouraged, neglected and  misunderstood.

Powerful shots are the result of clubhead speed transfering energy to the ball - not strength, not flexibility and no, not even swing mechanics.

Only speed is speed and that's what we coach. Our program results in significant gains in clubhead speed. In our program clubhead speed comes first, thus FASTFIRST.

The key to distance (and accuracy) is ball
compression, and the key to ball compression is clubhead speed.  

Our players improve - they lower scores - because they shorten golf courses with longer, more effective ball responses.

Golf skills are not innate. Skills are learned. Speed is a skill. 

My program is not limited to long-drive professionals - everybody can learn this.

Do we work with Juniors on-line? You might want to read this...

Why FASTFIRST?

  • Players with higher clubhead speeds have lower handicaps
  • Fastest way to lower scores is longer ball flight
  • Skills learned moving slowly can't simply be speeded up later, but require total relearning. Why not learn fast first?
  • Elite athletes create force faster than others, which is why they're elite
  • The faster the player can accelerate the golf club through the range of motion, the farther he or she will be able to fly the golf ball - it's as  simple as that.
  • Assuming that the club fits the player, there is no tradeoff between distance and accuracy

There is no tradeoff...As your clubhead speed rises...your scores fall!

To increase clubhead speed, one has to become more efficient in controlling the clubhead.

When one becomes more efficient in controlling the clubhead, one will  also gain control of the clubface.

You will have both power and accuracy. Improve power, improve accuracy. Learn FASTFIRST

FASTFIRST is unique, too, in that we do not take a "boilerplate" or "cookie-cutter" approach to instruction. Our program is geared to the individual...to YOUR unique needs.

The good news is you will continue to improve as long as you continue to train in our program, but remember...

The Genius to Learn, Train, Practice and Perform is  Within You, the Player.

  Enroll in
 E-Coaching, our one of a kind training program:


Due to popular request from players who cannot travel to New England, we offer Ben's FASTFIRST program through the internet via E-Coaching.This does not replace one-on-one time with Ben in person, but is the next best thing.
 
This is not a "cookie-cutter", one size fits all, mass-market, stock video, pre-written article base, one-shot come-
on conceived to part you with your money.
 
This is real, inter-active
 student/teacher-based improvement. 

Our program is customized to you and to get you better, not your next door neighbor or playing partner.
 

Here’s how it works:

Ben will send you a workout plan and drills and you will send specific results.  

Based on your improvement, as your clubhead speed increases, you will receive additional workouts and drills.

You will have one-on-one communication on an on-going basis to answer any questions that you may have.

It’s like having your own personal pro always available to keep you on target!

Dedicated students from all over the country and abroad are the enthusiastic participants in this intensive program that produces outstanding results.

 
Due to the very personalized nature of both our in-person and E-Coaching program, enrollment is limited. Please plan ahead. Before you purchase E-Coaching instruction, call or email today to reserve your space.

"..these emails are invaluable.  Like the eye dominance issue you mention...I could have floundered for weeks, but having your coaching makes a difference to keep things on track.  As you say, not as ideal as face to face, but if you know the fundamentals of the swing and have the passion to learn it works as a suitable substitute if guys can't get to you in person from time to time.  But, they should try by all means to get there.  (I should start thinking about my next visit!)"

SPEED MATTERS!

A Direct Relationship Exists Between Clubhead Speed, Ball Speed, and Level of Play

AVERAGE BALL SPEED

              PGA Tour                                   165 MPH
              LPGA Tour                                 138 MPH
              0-5 Handicap                            155 MPH
              6-10 Handicap                          145 MPH

Top Men Long Drive Professionals Record Ball Speeds of Over 200 MPH and Clubhead Speeds of over 155 MPH.

The greatest determinant of ball speed is, of course, clubhead speed applied to the ball through impact.
                      
                       AVERAGE CLUBHEAD SPEED

              PGA Tour                                114 MPH
              LPGA Tour                                 97 MPH
              0-5 Handicap                          107 MPH
              6-10 Handicap                        100 MPH

THE GREATEST OBSTACLE YOU FACE IS THE LENGTH OF THE GOLF COURSE

       TOUR TEMPO Revisited...

Yes, the beat goes on, only now louder than ever. My longtime colleague and friend, John Novosel Sr., the author of the landmark book, Tour Tempohas landed smack on the cover of GOLF Magazine - Swing, Set, Through and all.

I am  both proud and thankful to have worked with John in our search going back to 1991. No telling how many frames of video swing swing sequences we counted. In addition we spent countless hours in discussion, mostly on the telephone, testing many versions of the tempo tones.

Usually John would develop a set  of tones on audio tape then send them to me for trial. We went through a lot of audio tape, too. Finally we got it right. As I have said many times before, no, I didn't write the book, I just lived it!

The results of the work were published in 2004. By then the tones were upgraded to CDs and my players wore CD players on their belts while practicing.

Technology, of course, has advanced since then. Today there are applications for smart phones and tablets.

The work didn't stop with the publication of the manuscript, either. Like technology, we know far more than we did back then. That was only the beginning.

I am still thrilled that John dedicated the book to me. And, I am even more thrilled for him. He stayed the course. That's the nature of inventors and visionaries, of which John is both.

Congratulations and thanks, pal.

        The "YOU DO THE MATH" Challenge

Golf is a numbers game, and it's not fair because lesser players get punished. Do the following math problem:

1. Add together your average driving distance and your average pitching wedge distance.

2. Subtract the results from 400 yards (the length of a decent par 4)

The difference is your disadvantage compared to a player who can go low.

A 20-yard differential is tough on a player...a 50-yard differential leaves no chance to go low.

The challenge is simple - add length and get rid of the differential. Let's shorten the golf course and...

Thanks, Steve!

"Ben Jackson is a visionary. While most golf instructors and sports trainers have traveled down the same tired old paths paved with the same old misunderstandings Ben has successfully carved out a new direction. Why is it that a skinny sapling like Charles Howell or Kyle Stanley can rotate like a Tasmanian devil through the ball and hit it 330 yards while an individual who has followed all the "rules" about core training, flexibility and aerobic exercise can't reach par 4's in two?

Ben knows the answer to this and can teach you how to turn your Prius performing body into a drag racer. Big muscles and a strong core won't help you hit it past Morgan Pressel if you don't have them programmed to perform with the proper neuromuscular training. Ben can teach you how to get the most out of the most important piece of equipment you have (your body) and it will take less time then you think. I worked with Ben for 3 months and picked picked up 15 mph in driver club head speed that translated into 30+ yards on the golf course.

Ben is where the rest of the golf instructors will be headed in the next decade. He just got there first because he's a bit faster than they are."

Editor’s Note: Steve worked in FastFirst online training five years ago and made significant improvement. He is a diligent trainer. After leaving the program, he fell into the very common, self-induced trap of doing things in training that he liked to do, which got him away from the things he needed to do. He didn’t have me “yelling” at him, so to speak. As a result, he lost distance and the advantages that he had gained while working in FastFirst… Thankfully, he’s back.

Those things we can’t do, and those things we don’t want to do, and those are the two reasons we have to have them.
