Plastic will delete head oil a lot, lot slower than regular resin, but it will absorb oil a lot slower than resin. So more oil tends to be deposited further down lane. I doubt if they removed much head oil compared to regular resin users but you more than likely got a lot less backend than normal after the the first game.

Solutions vary from going around the carrydown to playing deeper with stronger rolling balls.

It really depends on how the guys with plastic were playing it.  You can play the shot, but you have to be able to square up.  Don't go with something real dull drying to fight the loss of back ends.  I like a strong core pearl on a shot like this.  You have to understand that while they are taking away you swing area they are also building up your hold area if you can square up with the right equipment.
