Watch the connection. Watch where your hands and the handle are when your legs are finished. You need to first bring the hands in sooner. Not faster; earlier. You may also need to "slow" the legs down. I don't mean pull lighter, I just mean to take your time with the legs. If they fire down right away, you've got nothing left for the rest of your drive.
Alex - you are opening the body way too early. It looks as though you are using your body to place the blade, rather than your arms. Keep your body forward both to place the blade and as you begin the drive with your legs.
Susan and Emily - make sure the outside arms and elbows stay out and even with the end of the handle. They forearm should become an extension of the handle. This will allow you to keep your outside wrist completely flat. It will also allow you to put downward pressure on the handle in order to extract the blade at the release, rather than needing to "pull" it down.
Alyssa - You still have a lunge towards the catch. Make sure that you are getting your body angle through your hips, not the spine. Your upper body tends to collapse as you come into your full compression. Sit up.
