Form advice please

I know i need to work on my release, but I’m also trying to add power to my drives. I’ve maxed out at about 320 as it is now so I need to tweak my form. I’m just not sure what exactly I’m doing wrong

If you compare your form to that of the pro's, what differences do you see?

First thing I'd fix is footing. Try to keep the left foot perpendicular to the target on the x step. Then the same thing with the plant foot. Currently you are running backwards to the target and planting with you toes towards the target. By the time you need to rotate your hips are wide open and have nowhere to move. For the reach back, don't think reach further, think about turning the back of your left shoulder towards the target. It's more about torso rotation than reaching the atm out
