Anon back handspring help

[Anonymous (daf1)]

I sort of have my standing back handspring but it's super undercut. I'm trying to get better at them so I can start working on them on beam (and just because I want them good in general). My coaches spot me because they don't want me to jam on my wrists and injure them. My coaches say to jump harder and longer but I'm still having trouble. They haven't given me any drills or anything (probably because everyone else on my team has them pretty good, and I'm not sure they know many). I have them fine on the tumble track but everywhere else they undercut badly.
Are there drills I could do? Any tips to get a stronger jump and to reach back more?
Thanks so much!

One trampoline/tumble track drill that could help your backhand-spring on the regular floor is bouncing your feet forward and then doing a backhand-spring. Chalk lines can help give a visual. Line #1 in the middle of the tramp, is where you start, and a line #2 more toward the front (but still safe), is where you bounce your feet to. Your goal would be your hands landing back on line #1. I hope that makes sense! This would help with making your backhand-spring longer so you don’t undercut. This drill also helps get ready for round-off backhand-springs because you’re jumping from that same hollow body position with your feet in front of you.

Thanks you! I'll definitely try that.
I do have my round off backhand springs, but they sometimes undercut too.

I’ve struggled with undercutting and fear with my backhand sprigs for almost three years when I recently got it one thing that haloed me was making sure to almost sit in a chair before I jump and to put a marker where I want my hands to go and aim for it. Another thing that helped with connecting it to a round off was to do a round off and then have a barrel behind me and go straight for a backhand spring over the barrel this helped with my form and fear of connecting it. Here’s a vid of my backhand springs now
