How to unlock the Fruit Machine achievement in Kinect Sports - Definitive Guide

Something to remember here is that you won’t be punished for missing any of the fruit – only for being hit by one of the bombs. So if you see a bomb and lots of fruit close together, you’re better off dodging them all and waiting for a safer opportunity to splat.

This is actually easier than it seems, the thing to remember is that you don't have to catch every piece of fruit. The AI will attempt to place a bomb in with the fruit in an attempt to catch you out, just let the fruit and the bomb past and you can live to fight another strawberry.
Of course, you must be playing the Fruit Splatter Volleyball game!
Hint 1: Keep your eyes on the large purple/pink targets for your scores and your eyes on the big red target dots to avoid. Don't worry about anything else.
Hint 2: Don't try looking at what the people are serving (fruit or bomb). Look at the targets. Avoid the Red!
Hint 3: Don't try looking at the path of where you think the objects are headed as this is often misleading. LOOK AT THE TARGETS. Avoid the Red!
Hint 4: When you have four volleys being served at random times and it is hard to distinguish what is what, don't look at that. Don't try to go out of your way to hit objects as often when I just stood in the right place I would be racking up some points. LOOK AT THE TARGETS. Avoid the Red!
Hint 5: If you are really having trouble, I wouldn't even look at the scoreboard while in play as this could distract you from getting your streak.
In many ways this game is like dodgeball. Swerve, juke, jive, duck. Whatever it takes to stay away from the red bombs.
In the course of a minute and half or two minutes of diligent avoidance of the red, you should get the achievement. Achievement will pop immediately after fulfilling requirements. You don't even have to finish the game first.
Good luck! and Avoid the Red :)

Just avoid the bombs. As more and more bombs are thrown at you, concentrate on avoiding them and you should get this in a few tries.
This is actually an incredibly easy achievement to obtain. Like with "Body Brilliant" you will have objects thrown at you that you have to hit, although in the case of this mini-game, it's fruit. You only have one life, however, so be careful. In reality though, you can miss as much of the fruit as you like and it will not cause you to lose a life, so simply take it nice and slow, and focus on the bombs that will be thrown at you, which will be marked with a red circle. Avoid these at all costs as these will cause you to lose a life. If you manage to hit 50 pieces of fruit, without hitting a single bomb, this rather easy achievement will be yours.
