10 Explaination of Point of Impact clause(s).

                       ----- 
                      |  |  | 
                      |  |  | 
                      |  |  |-----> leg-stump(for a right-hander) 
                    --|--|--|-- 
                   |__|__|__|__| 
                   |           | 
              -----|-----------|------- 
                   |  |     |  | 
                   |  |     |  | 
                   |A |  B  |C | 
                   |  |     |  | 
                   |  |     |  | 

            Region 
               A = Outside off stump 
               B = In-line with the stumps 
               C = Outside legstump 

If the point of impact is(refer to the above diagram):
a)impact outside leg-stump(Region C) - the batsman is not out.
b)impact outside off-stump (Region A) - only then see if an
attempt at playing a shot was made or not. Not out if an
attempt was made.
c)impact in line with the stumps (Region B) - not a special
case.
