    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)

    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.

    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
