Back swing is fine. Swing looks acceptable. At the line the only real balance issues are as follows; 1. Your balance foot is off the floor. So instead of a tripod holding you up, you have a bipod. Gymnasts are the rare few that could maintain balance for an extended period of time that way. Keep your damn foot on the floor lol 2. At the foul line you need to keep your body in the proper alignment-toe, knee and chin all in line perpendicular to the lane. The straighter this alignment at release the better your balance will be. I don't have an issue with your foot speed but if you learn to slide at least a little, it will allow your body to stay in alignment, maintain balance and give you some margin of error for timing.

If you draw an imaginary line from Fagan's chin, though his knee to his toe it will be straight and at 90 degrees to the horizontal plane of the lane.

I practice it at home. I've only come across one person that picked it up and used it correctly right away. But she had a dance and gymnastics back ground so it made sense to her and she found it easy to do and felt better from the first time on the carpet. Once you know how the finish should feel it gets easier to do on the lane. Your knees and all will automatically line up. Once that happens you will be able to control loft properly from the start stance.

Pretty much. I worry more about the finish position and not as much about how I get there, it all falls into place. Also, I skip the box lol

Bills right on, and the video is "EXACTLY" what I would suggest you try to emulate. If you can get to that position at the line, (with just a little bit of a slide) you will find several things will increase...your accuracy, your leverage, and the feel of all of the components of your swing and release. When you're too fast with your feet and no slide you'll always fall to the right.

90% of your approach is on the money, you just need a little tweaking to get everything in balance. I don't think it will take you very long to accomplish this and I look forward to seeing another video in a week or so showing us the improvements. Time and patience and you'll get there.

Good luck.
