Critique my 50 Fly, please

‪VID00003.MP4‬‏ - YouTube I liked the time, but the more I look at this the more I don't like what I see. A few things I noticed. I felt like I had a great reaction time, but by the time I break the surface the guy two lanes over has already taken a stroke and is a yard ahead. I kni it's hard to tell without seeing the underwater, but did I go too deep/stay under too long? Obviously did not go down the center of the lane, that's a problem. Looking at my stroke the way back it looks to me like I am taking my arms out of the water too far, driving my head down and creating a "V" Am I seeing that right? If that's the case, what drills can I do to fix that in practice. Anything else?

    I know, I am killing the water, had the same problem in the 50 and took a little off on a relay and went .2 faster, so maybe I need to try that for the Fly. I went 24.33 I did 4 SDK's, If I'm not going too deep then i need to work on that b/c I'm coming up and am already behind by a yard, but not losing much at all after that. I never even thought about where the hands were at that point, I will have to work on that, thanks!
