PUTTING LESSONS WITH TECHNOLOGY
The Capto Putting System is an advanced training tool designed to help golfers improve their putting by providing detailed, real-time feedback on their putting stroke. Using a specialised sensor and software, Capto tracks over 40 key aspects of your putting, such as stroke path, face angle, impact position, and tempo.
This system captures precise data during your stroke, helping you and your coach identify areas for improvement and make the necessary adjustments. The results are shown in both visual and numerical formats, making it easy to understand exactly what changes need to be made to enhance your putting.
Since putting accounts for nearly half of the strokes in a round of golf, improving your putting can have a significant impact on your overall score. Capto helps you focus on one of the most important, yet often under-practiced, parts of the game. By using Capto during your putting lessons, you’ll gain valuable insights that will lead to better consistency, improved technique, and ultimately lower scores on the green.

GOLF LESSONS WITH TECHNOLOGY
Do you know that clubface control gives the ultimate control of your golf ball.
In fact, more than 80% of golf ball's initial direction is determined by the clubface position when at impact.
To improve ball flight, many coaches focus on aligning the player’s body position without paying that much attention to the wrists.
However, your hands are the only part of the body which is in direct contact with the club. Meaning that your wrist alignment directly determines the clubface angle.
​
Hackmotion is strapped to your lead wrist like a wristwatch, to provide feedback on wrist angles which directly influence clubface. This can not only be used within the full swing but is important within short game and putting. Hackmotion complements Capto putting system to help you master the greens.
​
HackMotion is a great addition to the ever growing relationship between teaching and technology to help you learn more about the game and understand your own tendencies!
