corner pocket
Ball's final destination
A corner pocket is one of the four pockets at the corners of a pool or billiard table, as distinguished from the two side pockets along the longer edges.
Corner pockets require more precise angles for shots: He called the eight ball in the corner pocket.
The phrase appears in the expression knock it in the corner pocket, sometimes used figuratively for completing something with precision.
