300 game or 800 series???
« on: March 20, 2008, 09:27:19 PM »
So my good friend on my team shoots 300 tonight(650 series) and all night was throwing it in my face cause I haven't rolled a 300 yet. He has a 192 average, me a 210...I have (5) 700 series and an 805 this year...he's trying to say that rolling a 300 is harder than getting an 800 series. I said, how can shooting 300 be more difficult than averaging 268 for 3 games...so, what would you rather have? and which do you think is harder to accomplish???

I've thrown one 800 in my life and no 300s.  I'd rather have the 300.  Nobody notices an 800 series when it's happening...the whole center gets quiet when you're throwing in the tenth after getting the front nine.  Guess I'm a glory hound...I want the instant gratification that comes from throwing a 300.

I have many 300s and until this year I had not had an 800 I shot my first back in January.  It is by far the harder of the 2 accomplishments.  Look at the number of 300s comapered to 800s in any year.
