How to unlock the Neon Lanes Champion achievement in Kinect Sports - Definitive Guide
For me my sweet spot was a three-six inches or so to the left, I'm right handed, on the screen my hand would register one left of the center triangle and when I pulled back it would go to the center then on the push forward it would go back to the one left triangle sending the ball straight to the center for a strike everytime. On my release I aimed for the green light on the kinect sensor itself. This helps keep consistency.
I don't expect this to get positive votes but it should add slot of good and different approaches to the achievement. Hope this helps everyone get the achievement.
The thing that worked for me, was sitting in the exact same position and being very focused on my arm going straight down and up again, having the aim light up just left of the center (i'm right handed).
I had 10 strikes in a row and lastly a 9 and a zero.
It worked so fast, that by the end of this, i was just bumped up to lvl 6 (this was the first sport I played).
WARNING!: Video may be loud.
DISCLAIMER! There is still a bit of luck with this achievement. The AI score varies wildly, but this should still get you a high enough score.
Don't like videos? Here's some text:
You'll want to find a square seated chair. Position your chair slightly off centered. As a righty, I sat slightly to the left so that my throwing arm was about centered with the Kinect. You should be seated about 2/3 meters away with the Kinect sensor at approximately chest height.
When you throw your ball, you'll want to keep as straight a line as possible. This is why you need a square seated chair. You should be seated right at the edge of your chair so that your arm can go straight down passed the seat. Begin by dragging your arm along the side of the chair and follow through to make a straight throw. I'm sorry if that isn't super clear, but that's why their is a video.
The initial movement of your arm determines the angle of the ball. By dragging your arm along the flat side of a square chair, you assure the ball goes straight down the lane. The second half of your swing determines curve. By beginning along the side of the chair, you set your arm on a straight course essentially negating any curve.
Doing this method gave me a winning score of 274. This was the second game I tried it. The first game we tied with a score of 267. Therefor, I can confirm a tie does NOT count as win.
Good luck, and sorry to be many years late.
If you have more than two open frames (non-spare or strike frames) you probably wont reach 250.
I just got this achievement by doing the same exact thing with my arm everytime while bowling. what I would do would be starting at the second to last arrow on the right and then bring my arm diagonal across my body up towards my face while always finishing with my bicep on the right side of my nose(throwing arm side) after getting used to this motion it wasn't long before i bowled a perfect game. Yes there were time when i wouldn't get a strike or spare but you just have to keep working at it getting the same throw everytime. Good luck and I hope this helps anyone trying to get this

This requires you to win a game of bowling on Champion Difficulty. As the name suggests, it is rather challenging, especially for 10 as your opponent regularly hits strikes and spares. A lot of practice is advised before tackling this achievement, ensuring that you can consistently hit plenty of strikes, as you will need them if you want any chance of winning. A good stance always helps, with one foot behind the other and the shoulder you’ll be throwing with positioned slightly back (as if you were actually bowling). Line up the ball with the centre arrow, bring the ball back and release, leaning forward slightly but remembering to keep your arm straight, or else the ball will curve.
