 🎳 Summer Swing 2026 | Week 4 | 45ft Route 66 V2 🎳

Welcome to the Can You String 'Em Summer Swing 2026!

6 weeks, 6 different patterns, bonus prizes and 2 major titles available!

Every week will have scratch and handicap winners!

The regular prize pot will go to the handicap winner on the night!

With the best 3 weeks counting towards a cumulative total pinfall during the swing!

The top 3 at the end of the swing in each category will receive bonus prizes! 

The overall scratch & handicap winners receive Major Titles!

Who can prove their consistency across different patterns, all ranging within the challenge & sport shot ratios?! 

Week 4 saw the 45ft Route 66 V2 pattern on the lanes! 

The longest pattern of the swing and a middling difficulty 6:1 challenge shot!

Will the lanes play long or will they be responsive once you hit the friction?!

Who can get their ball reaction to shape up the right way and carry the pins?!

With 15 players competing, our highest attendance so far this swing, bowlers will be hopping 2 pairs between games!

We saw some big scores, and a lot of 9 counts! Who carried to most to take the victory on the night?!

With more bowlers now reaching their 3 week threshold, keep an eye on how the standings are shaping up!

🎳 Strike Pot 🎳

With NO score b*tches available and everyone in play, no one claimed to have won the strike pot!

We roll-over to start a new jackpot of: £15!

I will figure out a better system for tracking the strike pot when we are all switching pairs and have no score b*tches available going forward!
