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.
LuCA
LUCA MENCI, born and raised in Tuscany, holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Florence, where he conducted research on energy measurements utilizing sensor and computer technology. With a specialization in image analysis and 3D measurements, he has an extensive track record in the fields of photogrammetry and three-dimensional reconstruction. Over the course of his career, he has contributed to the publication of numerous scientific articles and patents.
For two decades, Luca has undertaken a variety of noteworthy projects involving computerized vision, encompassing applications in mapping, geology, architecture, forensics, industry, aeronautics, and satellite technology.
In 1999, he established his own engineering firm, aptly named MENCI SOFTWARE, dedicated to the development of instrumental software. He has forged partnerships with both national and multinational corporations, engaging in remote aerial and satellite measurement contracts. His expertise has led to collaborations with prestigious Italian universities, and his innovative technology is now recognized worldwide.
In 2016, Luca Menci embarked on a new venture, founding PRECISION. The company introduced CAPTO, a cutting-edge system equipped with software designed for high-frequency inertial analysis of putting techniques.
Luca is also affiliated with the PGA of Italy and actively engages with golf professionals, promoting his vision of putting supported by the scientific and technological tools he has developed.
In 2023, he launched a new enterprise under the brand name ITER, focusing on the development and business aspects of his work.
