How to Do a Smash in Kinect Sports Table Tennis

"Kinect Sports" is a sports party game pack for the Xbox 360 gaming console that uses the Kinect controller, which controls games based on the player's physical actions rather than via buttons, as in a traditional controller. Table Tennis is a game in "Kinect Sports" that allows players to play a table tennis video game using motions similar to traditional table tennis. Smashing happens in-game in a similar fashion to how it would in traditional table tennis.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Wait for the ball to show a wobbly trail before you smash. The trail shows your opponent erred in such a way that a smash shot is now possible.

   • 2

     Swing your arm down sharply to smash. Add direction to the shot and time the smash to activate when the shot power meter is full. This will maximize the smash's power.

     Position your paddle where you predict a smash will go to return a smash. Be sure to stay close to the virtual table and reach out in front of you.
