You have a good long swing on both sides, with a long pendulum motion. Good followthroughs too. But I think you can shorten the swings on either side by raising the elbow in the prep. This was the adjustment that Sampras and Agassi did to shorten their swings. The pendulum action and the figure eight is still there, but in a shorter length.

The slice backhands I see you are cutting downwards and hitting the bottom of the ball. Try changing the grip so that index knuckle is at bevel 2 and your thumb joint is on bevel 6. Then swing across more. You will find that you'll have more surface area to the middle of the ball, and then the bottom rim of the hoop doesn't slide out too early.
