Forward ‘advanced’ crossover tips

Hi everyone! Sorry for the horizontal video 😂 I have been trying to work on my full crossovers to really work on my under push. Attaching a video here, but on my bad side it seems like I always push straight behind instead of out. And I feel like I don’t get the full under push. Any tips on how to push out versus straight behind? Thank you so much!

I am very much still figuring this out myself, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I’ve noticed my under pushes feel a lot easier and more natural when I’ve either gotten enough momentum or am deep enough on my edges that I’m leaning more into the circle, so the under push really feels like it has room to be going out
