Pocket shelf (n.) – - Billiards Dictionary
Pocket shelf (n.) –
This the area behind the pocket points before the pocket. The ball can get behind here and rest waiting to be pocketed, or the cue ball can get corner hooked in this location. Different tables feature a smaller or larger area here which can make these situations more or less achievable.

Oh boy, that ball is now resting on the pocket shelf.
