Your recovery and extension are looking much better, and your breathing is also much improved. On your recovery now, try to drive your hand forward such that at full extension, your arm is at shoulder depth, parallel to the surface. (Your hand is still a bit too close to the surface when you reach full extension.)

Posture

Your head, chest and hip connections look like they could be a bit stronger, because on some strokes it looks like you twist, rather than snap, from side to side.

On the final clip your head is rotating with your core - and this may be what makes your body appear twist rather than snap from side to side. When not breathing, keep your head connected to your chest, but keep looking straight down (the core rotates, your head does not).

Good but there are two aspects you can improve. First, you are lifting your head as you begin to rotate your face to the air, and this moves the bow wave from your head back toward your body, which means you will not be able to breathe in the trough of that wave. And second, you are pulling back with your stroking arm under your body as you breathe.

On the final clip your breathing looks very good. You are keeping your head down and appear to be breathing in the trough of your bow wave.

Good hip rotation, but the upper body is twisting instead of snapping with the hips. This may be caused by your arm motion (see below)

On the final clip your rotation is good. Any "disturbance" is caused either by your head position (rotating with your core) or your arm being extended too close to the surface.

Good extension but your hand scoots up to the surface and in front of your head. This is a braking action, and if you look carefully at the head-on view you may see a "dead spot" in your stroke each time your forearm is facing front. (You should not see much of your forearm form the head-on view.)

On the final clip your hand extends directly forward rather than in front of your head, but it is still too close to the surface at full extension.

Takes long to set up because the hand glides to the surface, where it sometimes catches air.

See the comments above - when your hand is extended a little lower in the water, you can get your catch a little earlier and a little more out front.

Good pull once the catch is made, though sometimes the hand has trapped some air.

On the final clip your pull remains strong.

Good snap but the energy is directed across the front of your head instead of in your direction of travel.

On the final clip you are driving your hands forward nicely on most strokes. On occasion you still enter your hand across the front of your head. Keep focusing on entering your arms wide and driving them straight ahead to full extension at shoulder depth.

Very good 6-beat kick.

On the final clip your kick remains very strong. Once in a while there is too much knee bend, so try to recover your leg straight, using your glutes rather than your hamstring.
