I'd like to stay around 200 but if I shoot high games every week I will . I hate sandbaggers .

I hear ya on the shoes ! I wear Dexter SST Myself. I have to have felt on the front haft of the slide and a red felt heal . If I used Amy of the 3 rubber heals that come with the shoes I'd fall on my face from the rubber grabing the lane .
My team mate shot 778.

He kept telling me not to bowl lights out and he shoots that. But if you average 198 and above in most leagues you're not getting any handcap anyway. So it doesn't matter what you set because your not getting any pins.

Now if you want to bown, say, a 3 man scratch league with a cap, then you'll want to keep it down. I bowled one one time where I was the low book average with 164 and my team mates were both 220+ and the team cap was 620. Loooong time ago. I barely knew those guys but they knew I was new and my game was improving as I got the hang of it. I averaged 198 on that league. We didnt' win but did quite well in prize money.

Although I'm competetive I still like to toss back beers on my bowling team. I bowl with a group of guys in one league and a mixed league on Saturdays. I am the lowest average in both.LOL
Holy crap. House shot?

And even still, that's crazy.
