I already know I'm probably the ONLY one in the pool world that has anything negative to say about these videos... so keep this in mind when reading my review.
I am going to review the Kicking System DVD.
What I liked...
The production quality is great.
The information was presented clearly.
Both 2-rail kicking systems were fairly good.
His last section on "Extended Diamonds" kicking was good.
What I didn't like...
The kicking system DVD's length was under 45 minutes and each DVD cost about $45 shipped if you purchased them separately. About a $1/minute. A little pricey based on the info presented, but that is just my opinion, and I will explain why right now.
I would say that only about 20 minutes of the actual instruction time on the DVD covered new information. This is because he has each member of the Behnke family reshoot the same shots over and over to illustrate his point that no matter who you are, as long as you hit the correct spot, your cue ball will act the same way as the next guy's. I understood his intentions for doing this, but it SEVERELY limited the actual amount of time presenting NEW information, rather than making that point early on with the first shot, he does the same thing with each subsequent shot. Thus, it only lengthens the DVD, but for no good reason other than to reiterate the original point multiple times.
So regarding information presented. The contents of the video include sections on 1-rail kicks, 2-rail kicks at both the long and short rails, 3-rail kicks, and his last section on Extended Diamond kicking.
Personally, I felt the 1-rail kicking and 3-rail kicking sections were close to useless. The 1-rail kicking section for obvious reasons. The 3-rail section because all the shots were standard 3-rail kicks from one corner to the other, moving the cue ball and object ball less than a diamond's length from either side of the pocket.
Without risking divulging any privileged information... I will only say that it took until his last section "Extended Diamond Kicking" to actually give any value to any of the sections before it. I felt like I was watching the whole DVD wondering to myself... "okay, how is this information useful when the balls aren't in these exact positions?"
So, in summation... The "Good" sections in my opinion were only the 2-rail kicking and extended diamond sections. And not especially worth the $45 cost. ESPECIALLY because there was only 18 minutes of ACTUAL instruction on the entire DVD which includes ALL sections, minus the introduction, outro, and the Behnke family shooting the same shot over and over. Remember, this 18 minutes included all the sections, not just the ones I found useful.
Lastly, Joe made no mention in ANY of the sections on how to adjust if your table doesn't quite play the way his Diamond table plays. This would have been especially useful in the 2-rail and 3-rail kicking sections because he numbers the diamonds, but doesn't tell you how to adjust the numbers if your table doesn't work like his.
P.S. I'm sorry for having to provide this negative review, it makes me feel bad, but I wouldn't be an honest consumer if I didn't state my opinion on this DVD.
[Edit] And by the way... Joe did refund my money for this DVD, just to clear up the confusion.
