How does this game even work?
There is a 75 point achievement attached to this.
I can get the first one in everytime but the rest don't seem to get off the floor.

What am I doing wrong?

[Romefalls86]

I can get usually the first two, but after that the 10lb, 16 and 14lb come and I'm screwed

[Yid1984]

First two are easy enough but I struggle after that.

Doing bigger motions and faster to allow for the weight but sometimes it will hit the back board or roll along the floor.

this is the only mini game I have left and I 1ked this but have no idea how to get past the last 2 I once got 3 in but the earth will not move

[andimeadz]

my 10 year old boy got it first time, bend your knees and launch it.. imagine the weight in your hands, if its heavy your gonna have to launch it

[EziosBladeZz]

You must have struck lucky on the spinning thing. I wasted so much cash on it >.<

[Romefalls86]

I just got this, what I did was sit on floor with my knees. I then reached for the ball with both hands, put both hands on the floor and then raise up straight with a moderate speed and got them first time including the 40lb cannon ball

[Yid1984]

Dont know how you got them all first time. I must be doing something wrong.

I can get 1st 3 in every time but the fourth is a pain to get in

EDIT: Got it after 10 attempts, I was sitting on my heels so not sure if knees is the only way to get it easily

[mga74]

do you kneel or sit?ive tried using your method and the heavy balls dont go high enough.

[Yid1984]

I done it sat on my calf muscles. made it easier for me

[mga74]

ok thanks.im still having major problems with this one but im sure i will get it, just might take a while?

Kids love this game (currently renting it) - but the earth is really irritating me.

I did manage to clear out the wheel though (took ages!)

[Ramon4815162342]

This was my method if it can help anyone:

Stand in front of the sensor in the normal way you do when in the menu. Now all you have to do is stand still and only use your arms.

Just let your arms slightly swing beside your torso from the front to the back without making any effort. When you grab the ball, all you gotta do is fling your arms up. The speed of flinging varies but that's where the ''luck'' comes in.

Remember to just fling your arms, don't use strength to pull your arms up. Think of it as standing still with you arms by your side and as if you're gonna make a wave throw your ams in the air... worked for me

This achievement seems like one of the simpler ones to get...
I tried to get it last night before turning off the game, and going to bed... but

it was infuriating!

I damn near punched the damn carnival guy on the TV, then I read through these tips, but none seemed to work, until I read the last one by Ramon4815162342, so Thank You!

I just stood there completely still with my arms at my side, bent my elbows to "grab" the ball (or object, or whatever), then lowered my arms, and swung em up above my head.

I even threw the world/globe past the basket, and had to try again moving my arms up a little slower!

Good luck with this one!

[raidenhardcore]

Trying for hours again but nothing i do is working, calibrated kinect, moved kinect on top of TV, sitting down/standing up nothing friggin works its either too slow or over the basket

Edit: finally got it but I cant remember I threw in the World Ball, just 4 in a row, I think final was a cannonball or something
