Hitting the pocket flush is where the ball curves towards the space between headpin and the 3 pin for right handed bowlers or headpin and the 2 pin for left handed bowlers and perfectly hits the center of this gap. If the ball hits more of the headpin instead of centered in that gap, it is a high flush hit.

What is the meaning of a hitting the pocket in bowling?

The pocket refers to the spot you want to hit with a bowling ball to give you the greatest chance of getting a strike. For right-handed bowlers, that spot is the space between the headpin and the pin immediately to its right. Since that pin is called the 3-pin, the space is referred to as the 1-3 pocket. Left-handers (and righties throwing a backup ball or a reverse hook) aim for the spot between the headpin and the 2-pin: the 1-2 pocket.


What is the origin of the bowling term Brooklyn?

It stems from a long-standing rivalry between bowlers from New York and New Jersey. Whenever a New York bowler threw a crossover strike (one that crossed in front of the headpin, hitting it from the opposite side), his teammates would tease him by claiming that he had crossed the river into New Jersey. So New Jersey bowlers started claiming that any of their bowlers who threw such a strike had landed on the Brooklyn side. In New York City and Long Island, the term 'Jersey strike' is still used. But for the rest of the country, the proper term for a crossover strike is a Brooklyn. For a right-handed bowler, a Brooklyn strike involves hitting the headpin (the 1-pin) and the pin immediately to its left (the 2-pin). For lefties, this is reversed: hitting the headpin and the pin immediately to its right (the 3-pin) instead.

Why is a Brooklyn strike called a Brooklyn?

My guess is because Brooklyn lanes are historically poorly maintained leading to dry conditions. These dry lane conditions lead to the ball hooking to the "Brooklyn" side of the headpin. Purely conjecture though.


How do you make an ear wrap?

Step 1 Find matching beads that are as even as possible. Put one bead on a headpin. Step2 Use chain-nose pliers to make a loop in the headpin above the bead. You can make it as big or as small as you like. Step3 Attach the ear wire to the loop you just made. The ear wire is the part of the earring that goes through the ear. They come in many styles and types. Choose the one that works best for your project. Step4 Hold the loop with flat-nosed finishing pliers. Wrap the remaining end of the headpin around the length between the loop and the bead. Make the wrapping as tight as possible. You can use your other pliers to assist you. Step5 Clip the end of the wire after you have wrapped as much as possible. Use your pliers to push down the clipped end. Use a file on any sharp edges, if needed. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 to make the second earring.
