What pins to hit to get a strike?
The pocket is the space between the 1 and 3 pin (if you’re right handed) or the 1 and 2 pin (if you’re left handed). This “pocket” is the place to aim if you want to get strike after strike. By hitting this area, you’re almost guaranteed to send the ball straight through to hit all pins down.

How are strikes and spares calculated in Bowling?
This is because, when you strike on the first delivery of a frame, the score of the next two rolls is added with the 10 points as a bonus. Whereas, when you roll the ball twice and make a spare that is worth 10 points, you get only one roll and the number of the pins you knocked down gets added with the spare points.
