Like Dreamer iz sayin'... your right foot is draggin' sum serious azz. It is also NOT behind you, so you are not able to put much of a lick on the ball, also makes you hit out of zone and not on balance.
 
You also seem to dip your torso excessively downward. it is good to have a crouch, but each time you move to your FH corner to do a loop, you are dipping Ur tail like you want it to touch it to the ground. You are not rotating your torso much and that doesn't help you get much stability, control or power on your loop.
 
You also seem very reluctant to move your right foot, almost like you would want it to stay in place. What you ought to do is use either a 2-step foot work to move into position, or do a hop step pushing  off with your right foot to get there. Be sure before impact to plant your right foot and get it at least somewhat behind you.
 
You are also (because you are not moving your right foot into position) being excessively wide on your stance at impact. Side wide that you are not using waist rotation as much as you could. That takes your legs and waist out of the equation, which is giving away a LOT of control and power. when you use 1/3 of your body, you have less stability and control, since you are using less large muscle groups effectively.
