I finally got some video to post for feedback on my Breaststroke; (must be breaststroke video day today). Many of you have offered me breaststroke workouts advice to me on another thread, and I have also tried to follow all your related feedback to others and incorporate it. Here is my best shot:

For background, I swim a 35 second 50SCY and a 1:15 100SCY, trying to make a 32 sec 50 and a 1:10 sec 100 to qualify for Nationals in 40-44 category.
Thanks for any and all help!!
Regarding the kick problem I mentioned,a good drill for you would be kicking breaststroke on your back so you can watch to make sure your knees don't break the surface.I agree,your pull is way too far back,your hand should never go past your shoulder.You don't get into a tight enough ball on the turn and as a result you have to twist your self around which slows you down.Keep it up,the world needs more breaststrokers.
