300 vs 800

[TVan]

I haven't had a 300 but have had a few 279 and one 28something. I have had plenty of 700 series. I think 700 is much easier than 300. I normally don't get overly excited by 700. Means I bowled well but nothing to special.

Since I have several 700s but no 300, I'll go for the 300 please!

Looks like a line in the sand has been drawn between 700 and 800 (234 avg game vs 267 avg)

I would rather have another 800 series.

The only way I want to go 300,less than 700 is to have two games under 200, then the 300. This way you get to say you threw a 600 without a single 200 game. You get some funny looks.

300 for me. Lots of 700 series. Close to 800 (774). Would take a 800 over a 300 though.
League I bowled in years ago guy bowled a 300 and less had than a 600 series. 185 avg bowler. 3 man scratch league. They also lost the game he bowled a 300 in.

You mean a 300, but still less than a 700 series? I have done that. It is a little embarrassing, but still, if you have a 300, you feel pretty good.

We had a guy last year shot 168, 300, 300. I rode him like a pony for ten minutes. I also saw him shoot a 300 and not break 700

300 over a 700, 800 over a 300

I would take a 800 i have a 300 and 700!!

An 800 series is a much more prestigious award. no contest.
