How to unlock the Head of the Table achievement in Kinect Sports - Definitive Guide

Select "Table Tennis" from Main Event menu and choose to play against a computer opponent. Select "Beginner" difficulty for the computer opponent to make this easy.

After the match starts, stretch out either arm to select left-handed or right-handed. I played the first match with my weak hand first to get that over with. Take your time and swing a little early (to account for slight Kinect delay). If you have played table tennis for real, the Kinect sensor can detect if you put top-spin or back-spin on the ball (evident by the yellow or blue trails around the ball, respectively). And don't forget to move around your play space because you can come up short on hitting the ball if you are not in the right position!! Play to 11 points to win. Achievement unlocked!

I can't even beat the beginner AI at this, mostly because the sensor can't see if I backhand the ball, meaning I can only play in 50% of the court. *sigh* Do you know if this unlocks in local vs. play?

Hmm...I'm not sure I can help here. Are you "standing" in the middle of the table? Perhaps you should check your Kinect sensor calibration to make sure it can see both of your hands?

I'm also not sure if it unlocks in online play...I did it in local.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck!

I am stood in the middle of the table, and the kinect can see that side of things as I can play with my other hand - not that I want to. I will have to just get my housemate to stand there and lose, I'm just terrible at this game I guess.

Simply win your first game of Table Tennis. This can either be done against a computer on any difficulty or against a friend locally or online. If you’re really rubbish, just ask your friend to let you win.
