What is a "pallino ball"?
A pallino ball is a small, round ball used in bocce as the target that players aim to get their bocce balls closest to. It is typically made of a solid, durable material to withstand repeated impacts. Its smaller size and smooth surface allow it to be easily rolled across the playing area. The position of the pallino determines the challenge of each round, as players must carefully control their throws to get as close to it as possible.
Examples
The team strategically placed the pallino ball near the sidewall.
I focused on throwing my bocce ball closer to the pallino ball than my opponent.
