800 without a 300...
« on: January 28, 2004, 08:33:36 PM »
I was wondering if there were many bowlers out there who have shot the 8 without getting a 3.  I've had many 279 in my life, but have never gotten the 3, but my high series keeps creeping up, to the point I think I'll crack 8 first.  Is this normal?  My high series is now a 788 at it would have been an 8 if I didn't blow a 4 pin and a baby split that night.

All 3 of my 800's have been without a 300.

1st: 278, 258, 289 for 825 (had the first 10 then left a 9 pin)
2nd: 278, 277, 277 for 832
3rd: 258, 290, 264 for 812

For some reason I just can't throw anymore than the first 9 but I don't know how many times I've finished a game with the last 9, 10, or even 11.

I've never shot either, but I'd take an 800 over the 300 any day!

Anyone except me can get lucky and throw a 300 these days, but luck usually runs out well before the 800 mark...

Most 800's around here dont include a 800. Remember all you need to break a 800 is a 266 266 266 = 800. No 300 needed.

my first 800, had a 223 the first game, followed up with 290, 287.

in the 223, I had 73 in the 5th.  took it off the sheet.  started game two with a solid 8, took it off the sheet, started game three with a solid 10, took it to the 12th frame where I got slow and left a split for 800 on the nose.

man that felt good.

Just had 279 - 289 - 258 = 826 this week.  And I had another with a 295.    I think the other 5 I have had all had a 300.

Who needs a 300 or 800, when I have a 294 and a 295!?!?!

I've got 4 800 series and none of them included a 300 game.  Oh, wait, that't because I'm one of few that haven't shot 300!!!  My fault!
