The biggest issue I see on a quick look is she is still blowing through the release. The upper arm isn't stabilizing against the side resulting in no or weak whip action in the lower arm.

1) IR needs to be improved.
Pay close attention to the forearm movement.

BoardMembers "lock it drill":

THIS is Boardmember's "Unlock-it" drill:

2) Dneeld may be right. (Dneed: We've adopted Rick Pauly's nomenclature of "brush interference")..I can't tell from the video. We really need a view from behind her.

I'd like to a see a better video from the side and from the front or back--from much closer and at a higher setting if possible...

I see a pretty good whip from palm up at 8 o'clock, but the video is pretty grainy. As Dneeld and sluggers suggested, a focus on lock might be good. Also hard to tell from the video, but maybe a little looser/more relaxed feel to the lower arm getting pulled around the circle. Better video would confirm...
