Well, I don't really see much of a difference in terms of the size or cadence of the steps. The key difference seems to be that in the first sequence you start the ball well into and near the end of your third step, and the ball is really late making you not very stable at the line.

The second approach is also a five step approach, but you correctly start the ball closer to with your second step which is why you seemed to have better rotation and balance at the line. Keep practicing the second approach and make it natural to start the ball with your second step.

This is what I seen
1) A lower pushaway about 4 inches.
2) A much lower back swing around 1 1/2 feet.
3) You didn''t pull down from the top of the backswing because of number 2.
4) Your timing was much better because of number 2.
5) Your slide foot didn''t turn sideways because of the better timing.
MUCH BETTER IN THE NEW STYLE.

 You do push the ball away on your 2nd step. It seems late because you push straight out.A side view would help next time you take a video.

  Now work on your pushaway.
