First off I would like to say that I own quite a bit of instructional material.
Basically every piece of material around 1P and/or banks I have.
As far as 1P goes this is the best single tape I have seen for a beginner, although I look forward to the Scott Frost tape. The best tape IMO is the willie joping tapes.
There are three DVDs total in this set.
The first tape is all about the break and common break escapes - My main complaint here is how slowly the pace of the tape moves. This really is an issue with all three of the tapes. There is too much explanation, the way I figure is if you play 1P you should understand a lot of this. The information on racking that cliff provides though is solid as well as how to break. He doesnt' go into break adjustments which I thought was kind of odd. Ie how to break more aggressively. There is a good sampling here of break escapes.
The second tape is all actual games between crane and joyner; however joyner shoots all the shots. This is great stuff but some of the shots the picks are rather obvious. This would be nice if they had staged more scenarios.
The third tape is all "killer shots" which is the best part of the tape showing high power shots that are not exactly obvious. Cliff doesn't go into enough explanation on shots like the jersey red double kiss here. He doesn't explain how to adjust when the balls are in slightly different locations etc.
The tapes are good, but not exactly the best I have personally seen.
