the best spot between pins in bowling to aim for a strike

What is the "pocket"?

In bowling, the pocket refers to the ideal area between two specific pins that a player aims to hit to achieve the best chance of knocking down all 10 pins. For a right-handed player, the pocket is between the 1 and 3 pins, while for a left-handed player, it is between the 1 and 2 pins. Hitting the pocket with the ball allows for better pin action, increasing the likelihood of a strike. A well-placed shot into the pocket is key to achieving high scores in the game.
