Grip looks a little bit wide, but maybe not... You seemed to be under a little bit, so your hips got sucked under, but you still had a pretty powerful swing. Try to get a freer take-off and close off more quickly.

I'm working on the takeoff, and I agree the grip is wide but it's working for me now so I doubt I'll change it until next season.
