be more explosive through the entire movement, don't slow down when you get near the top, keep accelerating through the movement

From a technical stand point does everything look good?

Looks decent.

If you brought your legs in a little, you may get a little more depth and speed/power out of the hole.

^ agreed

And try for a bit more hip drive, helps even with high bar like you're doing.

If I bring my legs much closer I seem to get a lot more butt wink? And I was attempting to low bar squats but that's as far as I can comfortably get the bar back

Looks like the high bar, bar position to me too. I thought you were trying to do high bar with a wide stance.

If you are dedicating yourself to doing low bar, then your squats look pretty deep, but as far as critiquing I can't give you much advice on what you're doing. Not an expert with those.
If you wanna do high bar in the future, (looks like it would work for you) then work on the buttwink if it's excessive and actually does effect your lower back. You look pretty flexible based on the depth you are getting with that wider stance.

skip to about 4:45 to see how to properly place and grip the bar for low bar squats:

The trick is to narrow your stance a little and point your toes forward a little more. This will challenge your hips a bit, but if you do it slowly, you'll adapt.

With your stance that wide and your toes pointed that far out, your ankle is collapsing inward, limiting the amount of force you can produce.

Practice this while watching TV or the like. Get into your normal stance, then narrow it a bit, and point the toes in a bit. Then squat all the way down and just hang out there for two minutes. Rest a bit, then repeat. Keep trying to get those toes forward more and get your weight onto the edges of your feet, not your collapsed ankles.

The thing is, toes in also means heels out, relatively speaking. This opens up your hips, lets you get down in between them, and reduces butt wink as a result.

Cant really tell from that angle but it kind of looks like your rounding out the back at the very bottom. The first ones perfect, on the second one it looks like your rounding out a bit but not very noticeable than on the third it looks like your rounding out a lot. Might just be me. Still pretty good form though.
