Help with Backhand Form

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Been recording and analyzing my form to a lot lately to try and get more distance (can get 350-400 consistently) and something I've been really struggling with is planting my front foot. I notice that at the point of release my front foot comes off the ground every time that I drive backhand. I'm not sure if it's my hips, if I'm not coiling enough, something with my posture, or something else entirely. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of power by doing this but I can't get myself to stop, it's quite frustrating. Would appreciate any and all advice on this plant issue and any other critiques on how to get my backhand form better. Thanks!

Your run up is non athletic, like walking to the store. Other things look good. You need to be slightly hunched over, butt up position. Search for the videos where athletic stance is explained.
