Watching a commercial crew install carpet changed my whole method

Last month I was at a hotel remodel downtown and watched a 3 man crew lay 200 yards of carpet in about 4 hours. They used a power stretcher differently than I do, starting from the middle of the room and working outward to the walls. I always start at one wall and go across. Their way cut way down on wrinkles and they barely had to adjust anything. Has anyone else tried working center out instead of wall to wall?

200 yards in 4 hours? That's insane.

Yeah the "200 yards in 4 hours" part got me too lol. I used to think starting from the wall was the only right way but after trying it center out I'm never going back.
