Bronx Strike
A standard, clean pocket strike in bowling. It occurs when a bowler throws a perfect shot that hits the ideal pocket between the headpin and the adjacent pin on their dominant-hand side (the 1–3 pocket for righties, or the 1–2 pocket for lefties).It is the direct opposite of a "Brooklyn" strike, which is an accidental crossover strike that hits the wrong pocket.
Dude 1: "Man, my shot completely missed left, crossed the headpin, and I still got a strike."Dude 2: "Total Brooklyn. You got lucky."Dude 1: "Yeah, watch this next frame though... BOOM. Dead flush in the pocket. That’s a Bronx Strike right there."
