Yes, it is very helpful, as your hope was ;-) Very good, calm and clear explanation of the basics of holding-pattern-entries. Alreday added to my favorites. 5 of 5!

No offense intended, but these visualization crutches only ensure that a student never fully understands holds because they never learn situational awareness in the hold.
Like the FAA and Jeppesen books that our students read, this tool shows a map view of the hold, which is no help to a student. To visualize a hold and figure out the entry use your heading indicator (or HSI if equipped to make it really easy) and mentally superimpose the holding guide that you can find in a search.

@StratMatt777 I know it's a little late to respond, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents...
On the ground, in the classroom, holding patterns might seem easy, but up in the air with several other things taking up your attention, any little help goes a long way. I don't know about you, but when my dad was doing his check ride, he appreciated any help he could get with his holding pattern approaches.
Full disclosure: I posted the video and my dad invented the Flip and Twist.
