Our Story
“The sculpture is already inside the stone”

In 1999, Luca Menci founded the engineering company, Menci Software, specialising in remote aerial and satellite measurement. During this time, he collaborated on many projects with famous Italian universities and exported his technology throughout the world. His first foray into golf, came in 2016, when he founded a new company named Precision. It was then he produced Capto, a device designed to help golfers analyse their putting strokes, using a high-frequency inertial system.

Capto's exceptional technology can determine where the putter is in 3D space, gathering data never captured before. It is a lightweight and waterproof sensor that uses Wi-Fi to connect to software, gathering extensive and immaculately presented putting stroke data. This is the first time that this type of putting analysis technology has been introduced in golf, being described as a game changer by many of the world's top coaches.

Not only does CAPTO gather almost all conceivable data for the putting stroke, it breaks the entire stroke down, making it easier to identify problem areas. This makes my job as a putting coach far easier. In addition, it is extremely practical for use indoors and outdoors, without the need for recalibration when varying putts. I fully believe in the philosophies and principles applied in the development of CAPTO.

I’ve always had the ability to see many faults in the putting stroke with my naked eye, but there are times that I just can’t see a certain movement happening. And I don’t ever like to guess. That’s why I love using Capto. It backs up the information I already know and then provides me with the accurate data to fill in the blanks.

Its portability allows me to use the system during “on course’’ lessons giving immediate feedback to our clients. The system allows us to view the motion of the swing in a way that a slow motion camera or naked eye would not. It identifies what is happening during the putting action and identify any faults that may exist within the swing. The Capto system is extremely beneficial to us as Professionals as well as to our clients.

I could never say I was a strong technical coach of putting. Process, read and mindset. Kept it simple. Capto has given me an understanding of the technical that only enhanced my ability to coach Process Read and Mindset. Opened my eyes to elements that can’t be overcome with hard work. The software made it easy to present and understand.

Capto I believe it’s one of the most innovative putting technologies that has come to the market in the last few years. As a coach the ability to measure my students out on the green across a variety of different putts with different distances and different breaks... I think it’s invaluable! Being able to go out on the golf course and measure the player into the environment they are performing it’s fantastic also. It’s a very versatile and functional device. It’s light weight and the student will hardly realise it’s on the golf club. If you are a player that is looking to get better I definitely recommend to see a Capto Coach and if you are a coach looking to improve your putting coaching then I would certainly recommend that you get a Capto as well.
