Normally you will get a solid 10-pin when you hit the pocket a bit high. The 3-pin will wrap around the 10-pin, leaving it standing unharmed. The shot itself is pretty good, but finishing of your bowling ball is a bit too strong, resulting in that solid. But what can you do to let that solid fall. Well let your ball finish a little bit weaker. Here are some tweaks to achieve that.
Move a couple of inches backward on the approach, resulting in walking a bit faster on the approach and thus throwing the ball a bit faster. The ball will skid a bit more due to this.
Move some boards to the left on the approach, but keep your target as it was. This will result in hitting the pocket a bit lower.
Throw your ball less far onto the lane. The ball will have to travel further towards the pins, losing more force and thus finishing weaker.
Change your release at the foul line in such a way that you will keep your hand more behind the ball and thus lesser turning it. This will also result in a less strong finish.
Grab another ball, which has a lesser finish than the ball you are bowling with at the moment.
