THE CONTROL PANEL OF THE QUEST con’t
SPIN CONTROL
Spin is generated by the relative speed of the two propulsion wheels. The seven lights between the two
buttons light up in sequence to show how much TOP spin or BACK spin is placed on the ball. The middle
light indicates that the ball is thrown “flat”. Press the TOP or BACK buttons to obtain the desired amount
of spin.
MEMORY
You can place the current HEIGHT, SPEED, FEED RATE and SPIN settings in memory and retrieve
them at a later time. Press the MEMORY button repeatedly until the light indicating the number of the
desired memory lights up. Now press the button continuously for 2 seconds to enter the settings in
memory. To retrieve the settings from a memory location, press the memory button quickly until the
desired memory number lights up. The machine will now run at these settings. Three memories can be
set.
SWEEP (see pages 6 and 7)
This button allows you to select three forms of oscillation:
1. Random, horizontal. This will allow you to practice your baseline game.
2. Random all-court. This advanced feature will feed balls randomly horizontally and vertically,
for all-court coverage. The vertical oscillation is ADAPTIVE – the computer provides the right
amount of vertical oscillation for the SPEED and SPIN that you have selected. Adaptiveness
works up to a speed setting of 70, with flat throws and with top spin, but not with backspin. To
set the all-court oscillator, begin with the oscillator OFF and the machine at the center of the
baseline. Select the desired SPEED and SPIN, and shoot balls over the center of the net.
Adjust HEIGHT until balls clear the net by 3” (8cm). Now turn the all-court oscillation on.
3. 2-Line, horizontal. This setting delivers a ball at each of two locations (e.g., to two lines of
trainees). The machine alternates between these two locations.
The oscillator of the Quest will self-park in the center position when turned off.
WIDTH
The angle of delivery for each of the SWEEP settings (above) can be set to wide (sideline to sideline) or
to narrow (half-way to each side line). To achieve symmetrical court coverage, ensure that the lower
platter of the machine is aligned with the court. Alignment fins are provided to make this easy (see page
10)
RIVAL AND QUEST
All functions, except the battery level indicator, can be adjusted from the remote control. You will
find it more comfortable to adjust the machine by standing in the back of it a few feet away.
Throw Consistency: The main reason for inconsistency in ball throws is that dead balls are not
thrown as fast as new balls. Avoid mixing balls of different firmness.
