Squat depth question

[donk52]

Things hadn't felt right coming out of the hole for a few weeks. I had been going slightly under parallel, and with a buddy's help + video, it certainly looked like I was going too far and losing tightness. I reset and tried to stop higher up today, and things felt alot better. Problem is, i'm not sure if i'm stopping too high now.

Here's today's set, 210 reset from 240: http://youtu.be/FX5WDpn4tQo

For comparison, this is 225 from a few weeks ago: http://youtu.be/GPF6nTOwYhc

Which squats are better depth-wise? I know the angles/weight on the bar is different, but hopefully there's still enough info. Thanks.

225 set is deeper but your knees are all over the place. It's clear to me that you were losing tightness and that's why you were able to get lower. The 210 looks a hell of a lot better but you are right that you could go slightly deeper. Just push the knees out hard and sink down a tiny bit more. Feel for the bounce to find where to cut it off.

Something else to think about. In most of your reps for 225, your knees slid forward for most of the rep and you let them move forward at the end, and you may have been a little high. On the last rep, you set your knees early, kept them fixed, and you clearly hit depth. That whole set-knees-in-first-third thing actually works.

Can't tell definitively from that angle, but that looks 3 inches too high

Here's today's set at 220, though not at the best angle. I think this is somewhere in the middle of the last two depth-wise. It looks like I may be starting to lose a little tightness again, even with my knees pushed out well. But, is this the depth I need to aim for? Are these, with slight loss of tightness, better than the 210 set I posted above?

The plates really hinder the view.

I'm not sure if you did it in your newest video, but in the 225lb set you kept raising your head (was there a mirror there?). Pick a spot 4 feet away from you and stare at it for the entire set. Setting the knees early (first 1/3-1/2 of the decent) in the movement like mamba said works well for hip drive, but so does fixing your head and eye gaze.
