pretend_hero Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) As far as I know, these shots are activated when you hit the ball with perfect impact while using the D-Pad. I had one ball move with an orange burst after landing but no trophy unlocked. I forget which that was. Now I hit with perfect impact and not only does no trophy come, but there is never any indication that I performed the shot. I have seen some people say you have to hit the pin, but others (like a guide for another Hot Shots game) don't specify it. Has anyone done this and can you clarify what is supposed to be done? EDIT: I just pulled off the Rising Shot. You have to hit the pin while using the D-Pad accordingly. Just make sure you're right outside the green and you'll have an easier time hitting the pin. I assume the same goes for the other shots. Edited February 27, 2012 by pretend_hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smthng Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 As far as I know, these shots are activated when you hit the ball with perfect impact while using the D-Pad. Can you clarify that? What exactly do you mean by "hit the ball... while using the D-Pad"? Sorry if it seems like a stupid question, but this is my first HSG and they don't tell you squat in game.

Sorry if it seems like a stupid question, but this is my first HSG and they don't tell you squat in game. You can use these shots by doing the following: Hold up while the meter is going up and down while it is on its way back. Hold down while the meter is going up and up while it is on its way back. Hold left/right while the meter is going up and left/right while it is on its way back. All of these require your impact to be perfect, which means hitting the white bar at the end of the meter exactly. Rising shot has to hit the pin to be successful. Homing shot is picky and looks like you have to land very close to the hole and it has to get in for it to count. Spiral, I have no idea what the requirements are and have yet to see the effects of it. One of the crown challenges requires a pin shot. That's just hitting the pin directly with no need for a special spin. It must hit the pin first before bouncing.

dpenguin Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The spiral shot is if you hit the pin on a chip-in shot BEFORE the ball hits the ground. So, perform a spiral shot when chipping, aim the ball toward the pin, and so long as it doesn't bounce too hard it should spin down into the hole. The homing shot will work regardless of how far away it is from the hole in my experience, but I guess for the trophy it does need to go in?

I got the one for rising shot. I have pulled off the homing shot even landing it very close to the hole and it still doesn't roll back far enough to go in. I am going to try in a bit with a better spin stat. The homing shot will not activate if you hit the pin before the ball hits the ground. That was irritating when I was trying to land close without hitting it. Thanks for the tip on the spiral shot. It was a pain hitting the pin for a rising shot, so it's going to be real tough here. Even when I did the rising shot, I lost the challenge match. Insult to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretend_hero Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I went back to up my spin and try the homing shot again (picked up the spiral trophy a short time ago). Still, the ball will not roll back more than a foot or so. I can't figure that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpenguin Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah, I'm not sure what determines how fall the ball rolls back. I've had it roll a couple inches up to 2ft or so it seemed like, but both shots were at the same power and perfect impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaq33Cavs33 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Howdy Folks, I just got a 2X homing shot VS Max but the homing shot trophy did NOT "POP"!?! Can someone tell me why?!?

rospondek Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 All trophies are 'in an official round'. Not quick play, not vs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaq33Cavs33 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Getting the homing shot trophy (super backspin shot) to work for me now is being a pain in the butt. I have been trying for it on hole 1 at maple leaf but no luck yet!! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rospondek Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 almost plat this game very easy. Not easy at all CPU is cheating like hell! ______________________________________ Made rising shot today on the last hole on the daily tournament:dance: :dance: Tournament was just awful! http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/1967/ebgphoto1.jpg But the last shot... http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7958/ebgphoto.jpg It was worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvtforlife Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yeah I did a double eagle and a hole in one on one of the VS challenges. Really sucked because it was an exceptional 3 holes. Too bad they did not count for the trophies. I remember playing Out of Bounds on the PS3 and eventually it got where I could do these shots all the time.

militarymeleer Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) So let me make sure there aren't any extra special requirements for these: I was on harvest hills, hole 12, in the fringe, 6.2 feet away from the hole. I used super backspin, pressing up as the scale rose to about 40 %, then down as I perfect impacted. It rose up and hit the pin before the ground, and then came to a rest. I got +30 for pin shot. is it just do it perfectly and maybe you'll get a homing shot? Or is there something I'm missing here? Edit: Btw, my character Lani is level 3. She is using both power club and power ball. Edited March 29, 2012 by militarymeleer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvtforlife Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 If I remember what I have read from all over the internet you need a pretty good spin stat to get it to work. There are also videos that just show the ball rolling back and hitting the pin before it falls into the cup with it counting. Just keep trying and it will eventually happen for you.

militarymeleer Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Ok thanks. Looks like I'll be playing this one for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvtforlife Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 After trying the homing shot it seems that there is a certain amount of randomness to if the ball will actually get the necessary backspin. I have hit the ball from about 160yds and sometimes it will spin backwards and sometimes it wont. The same from about 30yds. Just sometimes it does not register the super backspin. This is my last shot trophy I need. I know for a fact that the Sidespin and Rising shot can both be gotten from the fringe. The backspin apparently needs to be a little farther out.

deathwhitch Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 i can not get the homing shot to work. I have tried everything. Saw a video of it hitting the pin first and then working saw one where it didnt hit the pin. I am using the last character you unlock in the game, with loyalty at max, and a lvl 3 turbo spin ball and club. I get close to hole with super backspin and it doesnt home in on the hole. Even had it go in and not unlock trophy. Tried hitting the pin and still it just bounces off, no homing shot. Am i missing something here!!!!! and YES I am doing these in an official round. Already got the rising and spiral shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvtforlife Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 You have to be about 20 yards out minimum. It has to hit the pin while in the air. I just kept doing the first and second holes on Maple leaf 9 hole out until it finally activated and went in. You will know when it happens...it will bounce off the pin and home in on the hole a few times while keep bumping off the pin. Just hope that when it finally activates it does not miss the pin on the first homing or not end in the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDadio Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Is there a spin requirement for rising shot? I've done super top spin a ton of times from chipping positions like the fringe, the ball hits the pin but no rising shot? It just pops up as a chip in :(i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvtforlife Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I know there is a loyalty requirement. It must be level 3. All the times I did the rising shot, I was about 4-5 yards out and the ball rolled in and hit the pin. The ball then flew up the pin and landed back in. I do not know if there is a requirement for spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
