Who Builds Your Clubs

Four People, No Sales Floor

Everyone here fits and everyone here builds. The person who takes your measurements is the person who cuts the shaft, which is a smaller detail than it sounds until something goes wrong.

RV

Roland Vasquez

Owner · Lead Builder

Roland spent eleven years as a bench technician for a club repair operation in Belleville before opening this shop in 2009. He does most of the iron set work and all of the frequency planning, and he is the reason the trim spec gets written before anything is cut.

He is also the one most likely to tell you your current clubs are fine. He has an unshakeable opinion that a properly stepped set of eight-year-old irons beats a badly assembled new one, and he has the cards on file to argue it.

Ask him about: frequency slope, taper tip work, anything involving a set that “never felt right from the 6-iron down.”

DH

Delia Hartigan

Fitter · Woods and Hybrids

Delia came out of a launch monitor background, working three seasons for a demo tour before deciding she preferred the bench to the parking lot. She handles most driver and fairway sessions and keeps the profile board data current.

Her particular skill is getting useful data out of players who tighten up the moment a radar unit is switched on. She will spend the first ten minutes talking about anything other than golf, and the numbers are better for it.

Ask her about: driver length, counterbalancing, why your fairway wood works off a tee and nowhere else.

MO

Marcus Obi

Builder · Wedges and Short Game

Marcus runs the second bay and does the wedge and putter work. He came to club building from a machining background and brought the habit of checking a dimension twice before committing to a cut, which fits this shop perfectly.

He maintains the loft and lie machine and does the grinding work when a sole needs relieving for a particular turf condition. He is the person to see if your wedges are all stamped different lofts and all fly the same distance.

Ask him about: bounce for soft spring turf, partial-swing shaft weight, putter counterweighting.

SK

Sunny Kaur

Bench · Grips, Audits and Scheduling

Sunny handles the intake measurements, the bag audits, and every regrip that goes across the counter. If you have called the shop, you have spoken to her, and if your clubs have been measured here, she took the readings.

She has become the shop's specialist in grip build-up for players managing arthritis or a hand injury, which started as a favour for one customer and turned into a steady part of the work.

Ask her about: tape layers, core sizes, junior sizing, and what a bag audit actually reports.

How we work together

One Card, One Signature

Every build card carries the initials of the person who cut the shaft. If a club reads out of tolerance, we know exactly whose bench to walk over to, and nobody here finds that uncomfortable.

Training

Everyone Learns Every Bench

New staff spend their first six months on regrips and audits before touching a saw. Cutting a shaft is easy. Knowing when not to cut it takes longer.

Review

Rebuilds Get Discussed

Any club that misses tolerance and has to be redone gets talked about at the Tuesday morning bench meeting. Not to assign blame — to find out whether the process allowed it.

Cover

Your Fitter Owns the Build

If Delia fits your driver, Delia builds your driver. Handing a spec to a stranger is where most of the industry's variance comes from.
