Hey.. sorry. For me, there wasnt an option to swing it. Wouldn't come up for me. I ended up playing up 5,6,7 board area with a scuffed up Conspiracy solid (fortunately I have a 1500 grit pad in my bad).
I didnt really even move until game 5 of singles (bowl doubles first this year). Finally, there was a bit of dry developing - I switched to my Squatch and was able to swing a little.
That being said, I randomly drew lane assignments and bowled (both days) with multiple folks who were either throwing plastic or urethane down the middle. I think a group playing a similar line could break it down faster and have some decent room.
I agree that it wasnt that hard, but just much more volume than I typically see.
