How to unlock the Sand Master achievement in Kinect Sports - Definitive Guide

Press the "xbox guide" button every time the AI shoot.
Then you know where the ball will come, just move your body to that side.

Did the same thing for "Waveside Champion" achievement.

I'm having trouble with the low shots also. Maybe I'll try tilting the camera down for Volleyball.

I played with a friend, simply ignored trying to block at the net and picked it up at the back, was pretty simple from there on.

I think I figured out why this wasn't working for me at least. I don't know if it was the kinect not recognizing me or what but if my arm was too close to my body this didn't work. As soon as I held my arm way away from my body I had an easier time.
Still the AI totally cheats.
They could dive at the back of the playfield, then be up at the net for a slam right after. If they hit a shot close to the net, if I could get it,my player would dive and there wasn't enough time for me to recover. Even though I was so far back the game was telling me to move forward, my avatar was still rolling around at the front of the net. I could tap the ball instead of slam and even though they were way back, they always managed to dive at the front of the net to save it. Had a 62 volley point at one point.
It's unbelievable how many diving saves they get and are able to recover instantly to make another perfect shot after.
This took me at least 20 tries before I got this even with this method.
Thanks for this though cause I never thought I'd get it. Cheers.

The biggest difficulty I had was digging a spike that would be at the corner of the screen.

When you are in this situation, crouch down with a wide stance. This will help you out in two ways. First, you will be able to move quick enough to reach the ball. Second, as your avatar will not have move across the screen, it won't dive, meaning you will have a chance to spike the ball.

Just did it with my 6-years old daughter on professional... smile
It took us around 10 or 15 minutes of intense play.
She got more than a half of all points - like 4 or 5. Is it a real mastery or just a luck? wink

1) Just pay attention to opponent's positions. If one of them is near the net - perform a power smash. If both of them are on the back line - make a fake one.

2) Don't forget to BLOCK! That's a crucial moment!

3) Always secure your partner if he/she is near the net and trying to block. Cover the back line - move to the approximate ball landing point even it's not marked yet.


P.S. I think it's much easier to complete in 2-player game than the solo one.

Not to hard if you doing it on professional, smash the ball when you have the serv, make sure that you got clear space so you can jump at the sides, suggesting you do this achivment alone, try block them each time at the net when you can so they dont get the chance to score

Its not a solution, but som add ons to the other ones. I did not use the xbox button tho. Learn how to just poke the ball over the nett. I pushed my armes straight up, not to fast, to do this, then on the rebound you can smash the ball. Because when you poke the ball, one of the CPU dont manage to position him self on the smash. Did this on 6 of my points. The CPU didnt stand a chance.

This achievement requires you to win with a score of 7-0, playing against a Professional or Champion difficulty opponent. Obviously playing the Professional difficulty opponent will be much easier. See “Waveside Champion” for tips on trying to win a match without conceding any points.
