They look very good, keep doing what you're doing. Smart of you to use the tubow. Last rep on 1st and 2nd sets looked the most problematic, so remind yourself to concentrate a little more when you reach the last rep.

Thanks, for your response.
My fear is that I am not having enough hip-drive.

When looking at the bar path, it seems pretty vertical down,
but after passing the hole and on the beginning of going up,
the bar travels forward.

This is my main concern.

I don't know what cue might be useful in my situation?
- shove my knees out even more ?
- lift my toes (weight more on heel) ?
- push my ass up or back and up ?
- the knees maybe is not enough over my toes (the knees should be fixed 1/3 of going down) ?

For each of the things you suggested, it's possible to overdo them and end up making your form worse. If there are minor bar path issues, the way to address it is by feeling out the bar, and feeling where it is balanced relative to your feet. You'll quickly be able to feel if the bar is too far forward or behind. Squat slow enough so that you can autocorrect for it once you feel the bar moving out of line.

Looks good man, and I think you nailed it on that last point. Your knees aren't going forward enough at the beginning so they are slamming forward at the bottom.
