Epic Quest

The Epic Quest we recieved was a 15 pounder with a pin of 3.5" and a top weight of 3 ounces. We had been hearing a lot of good things about this ball so we decided to put a pretty aggressive drill on it to see what it had. If you would like to see the exact layout see the video on our website. Out of the box the Epic Quest comes with a 1000 grit abaralon finish. When we took it out to the lanes we were impressed by the overall reaction of this ball. It revs up right off your hand but glides through the heads with ease. In the midlane it starts to pick up and makes a smooth and predicatable read heading into the backend. At this point is when a lot of balls we have tested have lost most of their energy and couldn't make the good hard turn, but not the Quest. It seemed to kick into another gear and turn the corner with authority. Even when we used it on a shot with considerable carrydown, the Quest had no trouble making it to the hole. The Quest seemed to carry off hits very

If you liked the Epic Battle and the Epic Odyssey then you'll love the Epic Quest. A great addition to the Epic Line This ball seem to be stronger than both the Battle and Odyssey, hits harder and carries the pins better on a off pocket hit. Reads the lane better. Maybe a little much for a house shot, and if used during league conditions, great for the first game only and then it's way to agressive for the lower oil conditions. This ball also seepms to gain speed while in the hook phase. Robert Powell Generations Pro Shop

Ball specs – 15 lbs 2 oz, 2.86 top weight, 2.5 inch pin. The Quest was punched 4” X 42 degrees; this placed the pin below the ring finger by ½ inch and the pre-marked mass bias on the VAL. A 29/32 balance hole was drilled on the PAP to leave an ending positive side weight of 7/8. The cover was left in OOB (1000) condition. I was looking for a ball and drill to use on a fresh, heavier pattern with good back ends. When I first rolled the Quest it displayed a little lope (original Maximus core with a higher RG value than the Max II) and had a quick mid-lane read (higher particle load of 2 %) with a smooth, continuous arc. The ball seemed a little flat but hit and carried well when it hit the pocket. Adjustment time. I drilled a bigger, deeper balance hole, which reduced the positive side weight to 1/8. The cover was adjusted to 2000 abralon. This seemed to help with reducing the lope, gave a little later mid-lane read and provided a little stronger continuous arc. Close

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

I would have to say that for me the Quest is the Best of the Epic line. I drilled my Quest 5 x 4 with the pin 1 3/4 above the midline, with a hole on my axis. All I can say is WOW, this ball HOOKS. However, it doesn't hook too early. I have no trouble getting the ball thru the heads, and the backend reaction is amazing. I have had to make the hole bigger twice to tame down the backend reaction. I have to say this will be the first ball out of my baf all the time. I am very impressed with this core/cover combo.

Roto Grip Epic Quest High end low load particle Designed for medium to heavy oil. I would stress look for oil as the coverstock is super aggressive. This ball is so sticky the first ball I threw while warming up actually stopped half way down the lane. The porter had to get a spatula to pry it off the lane. Then when I tried to wipe the oil from the track, the towel stuck to it. (I'm not kidding) However before you panic, The Ultimate Vision coverstock is easily adjustable and the ball calms down after a couple of games. Strong rolling ball as with all the Epic line. Really impressed with the hitting power, noticeable difference with off pocket hits carrying corner pins. My Quest was power. Feel free to add your own Quest for... analogy.

If you are looking for a strong ball that picks up the lane early, this ball could be a great choice for you. I, being a high rev and medium speed player, drilled mine pretty week. The mass bias is in a stronger position at about 5:30 even with the thumb, but the pin is about a half inch left of my middle finger and around 2 inches over it. Statics are an eighth ounce of positive side and a quarter ounce of finger weight. What I like about the ball for me is that it still retains some energy with this layout, but I have to actually try to blow it through the breakpoint to get it to do so. It keeps the pins low, reads the midline beautifully and is fairly controllable all things considered. One thing I'd keep in mind is that you're gonna need solid ball speed or heavy oil to get this ball down the lane enough. It also is an asymmetrically cored ball, so it will look better in a higher end players hands, mostly because a players release becomes slightly more imperative in these typ
