The Nighthawk was a control driver from Quest Applied Technologies and one of the brand's earliest molds in the PDGA record (PDGA-approved April 3, 2006). Quest was a boutique, experimental mid-2000s maker known for its golf-inspired "Dimple Technology." Its original run ended in the late 2000s; as of 2026 the Quest name has returned to retail under a revival.
