Great book. Practice the shots until you recognize them on the table and they become second nature. Your game will definitely step up a notch.
Boundries Explained...
The boundary shots are the extremes to the left and right of the original shots. In the diagrams place an object ball at the end or the boundary line closest to the same pocket you have been shooting to and a cue ball at the other end of the boundary line. Now create the same route as the original shot after pocketing the ob...
What is needed to make this happen can change drastically... I believe shot #4 is the 2 rail back to center of the table... The right hand extreme is set up up along the long rail and needs, if I recall correctly, high left to carry the cb 2 rails back to the center of the table... Where the left hand extreme is set up along the short rail and requires bottom left to pull the qb back around 2 rails to the center of the table...
Completely different tip positions applied to get the desired route back to the center of the table... All a variation of reference shot #4... 2 rails back to the center of the table...
I hope this helps explain it and gives you the info needed to apply it to your practice and learning...

Bob does a excellent job on demonstrating those shots and the DVD is good quality. Was watching that DVD the other night and never noticed before but it is filmed at the Accustats Studio and Jim Federicks is the camera man. Jim is the person who usually moderates the chat on the Wednesday Game Show.
I also have the DVD by Bert Kinister where he gives 26 shots. Bob has basically condensed these 26 down to 16 but shows boundaries, extensions, and gives better instructions on where to hit the CB.
The book and DVD complements each other as the book can be used as a eprference to set up the shots.

Speaking of Bert Kinister... his 6 point Star, 9 point Star & The Ladder will make a player out of you. IF, it doesn't make a wreck out you & you quit...!
It's a book by Bob Hennig, who I believe also runs Bebob publishing and puts out a lot of pool books. I actually reviewed his DVD series for Billiards Digest back in the day (actually it was so far back in the day that it might have been on VHS).
Anyways, the book is good and the shots in it are very sound from an instruction point of view, and I've incorporated a lot of them into my own teaching. Definitely worth a read.
