well it's my 2nd 800, first was last year(805) so I was pretty happy about the 300 only because I hadn't had one and I'd been close so many times...that damn open in the 9th really got to me!!!

Great bowling!!!  I would trade you 3 of my 300's for one of your 800's. As time goes on you will value the 8's far more than the 3's. I have seen guys that were not very good get lucky and shoot a 3, but nobody ever just lucked into an 8. But revel in your first 3 and you will find that they get a little easier to come by now.

Please, just one more ball, surely it has a 900 in it.

Given that nugget of information, way to complete the set.

Thanks everyone! I know that the 800 is harder to come by but the feeling of a 300 IMO is better at the time of accomplishment...

Congrats nowski! That's a great series, with the 300 also!

I will also go with you on the feeling of a 300. The 300 for me felt tremendous (1st game), then that same day 800 was just like.. "wow, I just had an 800, too. Cool."

Congrats!

I have 5 3's and 1 8 (Im 17)(not figjam just explaining) but personally the 3's dont matter to me at all, theres sooo many of them anymore that there common. The 8's are what matters to me anymore, I personally dont care if I never have another 300 as long as I stay consistent for the 8's. JMO.

Great Bowling too btw.

I always found 800s harder to appreciate in the moment that they are shot. For some reason, the 300 is like instant gratification while the 800 is something that catches up with me a day or two after its shot. Personally, I cherish the few 800s that I have shot MUCH more than the 300s. Congrats on both, man!
