Initially I drilled mine with  a  5 1/2" pin, above my middle finger. I found this layout went too far down the lane with the ball never having a chance to read the pattern.  After re-drilling with a 60 degree Mass Bias, pin 4 3/4" above my ring finger, the ball roll and reaction on the back was more even and much stronger.

I would recommend using either a 75 degree, 60 degree, or 45 degree mass bias. Unless you have a real strong hand, I would not place the pin any further than 5" from the PAP.

Overall, I found the Quest to hit a stronger than the Battle and to be cleaner through the front part of the lane. The Quest was definately stronger than the Odyssey but with a little less length down the lane using the same type layout than the Odyssey.

Depending on the surface you use, the Quest can be fine tuned for just about any condition, including the shorter PBA patterns, as long as there is oil up front.

I really liked the Battle over the Odyssey, and feel the Quest is a good compliment to both my Battles.
