Four People, No Sales Floor

Everyone here fits, builds, or measures. Nobody here is paid on what you decide to buy.

Founder · Lead Fitter

Marisol Quintero

Nine years on a repair bench in the Denver metro taught Marisol that most fitting tickets were technically correct and practically useless. She opened this studio to move the address baseline ahead of the component rack, and she still runs the majority of driver and iron blocks herself.

Certified in club repair through the Golf Clubmakers Association and a long-time member of the Colorado Golf Association. She plays out of a public track on the north end of town and will happily tell you her own driver is four years old.

Runs: driver, iron and full-bag blocks
Build Room

Ephraim Sandoval

Ephraim owns the bench. Every club that leaves the studio passes across his frequency meter, loft and lie machine, and scale before it goes into a bag, and every one of those readings ends up on your build sheet whether it matched the target or not.

He came out of an aerospace machine shop in the Springs and brought the habit of writing down what a tool actually read rather than what it was supposed to read. If a shaft came in half a degree off its stated spec, you will see that on paper.

Runs: assembly, re-shafts, loft and lie work
Instrumentation

Wren Aldaco

Wren keeps both launch monitors honest. She handles unit placement and alignment, the weekly calibration log, the atmospheric readings that get stamped on every outdoor block, and the rule set that decides which strikes are discarded and why.

She wrote the studio's normalisation notes, which are the reason a sheet from your 2024 visit can be compared with one from this spring without anybody guessing. Before golf she spent six years doing environmental field measurement for a soil lab.

Runs: session data, calibration, condition logging
Short Game

Kip Oyelaran

Kip handles wedges and putters, which at this studio means he spends most of his day on turf interaction and eye line rather than on head shapes. He runs the outdoor bunker and the practice green behind the building, and he is the person who will tell you that your putter is fine and your shoulders are not level.

Twelve years as an assistant professional across three Colorado clubs before he decided he liked the measuring more than the teaching.

Runs: wedge and putter blocks
How We Are Paid

Salary, Not Commission

Everyone on this list is on a flat wage. Nobody earns more because you left with a driver instead of a bend and a regrip, and nobody has a monthly unit target from a manufacturer sitting on a whiteboard in the back.

We mention this because the question comes up constantly and the answer changes how you should read a recommendation. If your fitter's income moves with your purchase, the recommendation deserves more scrutiny than ours does. That is true of us as much as anyone; it is simply easier for us to pass the test.

Who You Will See
  • Driver, fairway wood, hybrid, iron: Marisol
  • Wedge and putter: Kip
  • Data questions during any block: Wren
  • Anything about the finished club: Ephraim

Full bag reviews are run by two of us together, which is why they take three hours rather than ninety minutes.
