How to Get a Split in Kinect Bowling

"Kinect Sports" is a bundle of sports games released by Microsoft to help promote the release of the Kinect motion controller in 2010. Like regular Xbox 360 games, "Kinect Sports" features numerous achievements players can earn, such as "Doing the Splits." This is an achievement worth 15 gamerscore, and you must successfully clear a split in the bowling game, earning a spare for the frame. Before you can clear a split, however, you need to actually make one happen.

Instructions

- 1
  Start a new bowling game in "Kinect Sports."
- 2
  Line your player up so his arm is directly down the center of the lane. When the bowling ball strikes the center pin without curving, it makes it impossible to hit the outermost pins.
- 3
  Swing your arm back and then forth like a real bowling ball, not allowing your wrist or elbow to twist in any way. If done properly, you will be left with a split in the pins.
- 4
  Aim for the outer edge of the left-hand pin. The trick to clearing a split is to hit one pin in a way that it flies across the lane and strikes the other pin.
- 5
  Swing your arm again to throw the ball. If done properly, you will knock the rest of the pins down, earning a spare and the achievement.
