300 or 800 which would you rather have ?
« on: July 22, 2011, 02:30:31 AM »
I almost got my first 800 last night and am still looking for my first 300. Since my brother got his 300 last year, my mom is always saying you'll get your 300 someday. I don't think people understand that the 800 is almost better than the 300. I might want the 800 first, but would gladly take either. Any thoughts ?

Would like to have another 300, seem to hang 10's or 4's so keep ended up at 299. Given the choice I would rather shoot 800. Had a few in practice sessions, but keep falling short in league.

I rather take what ever comes first.
I hate ten pins but love the game of bowling with just the right ball to take them out.

   I have had 1 800, and although i know it is tougher than a 300(have 6) for some reason i feel such a rush bowling a perfect game....when that last ball hits the lane and you KNOW its going to carry the adrenaline is at its peak, at least for me. my first 800 i started the night with a 300, missed 2 7 pins had one spare 257, 257

Since I have 300s, that just leaves the 8.

If you were to bowl an 800 nobody could really talk smack about you. A 300 can be bowled off of luck and not pure skill level. This here is a perfect example. This past Tuesday night, my team bowled against this man who carries a 168 average. Until Tuesday he told me his high game was a 229. This 168 bowler tops the ball tremendously and throws it across a 15 board region. He shot 300 against my team but you should see his series. These were his games 300, 123, and 128. That does not even total to 600!!!! I rolled a 258, 245, & 266 and this luck bowler got more credit for his almost 600 than I did for my almost 800!!! Well to me A 300 is more fun than an 800 but an 800 proves you are more than just a lucky bowler. 
You need to compete for something greater than just winning.
The future belongs to whoever prepares for it.

300 is nice, but 800 means more. In my opinion.
