You should film the bounds and 2-leg bounds/broad jumps. Heck, film everything.

I've always had this problem. Obviously it gets even worse considering I can't do a low catch and I can't keep the elbows forward (only down, perpendicular to the ground and catch it on my chest).

Um... two observations
Looking at the replay I can see two things:
1) Hip hyperextension DOES NOT occur
2) You're actually initiating a "pull the torso up" movement to "jump" forward
So if you're doing these two things ^^^ instead of actually working on emphasizing the hip extension/hyperextension you're not only not training the hip extension but you're also programming yourself to raise the torso when jumping and not actually using the hips.
If I were you I'd stop doing these
If you compare what you're doing here with a med ball overhead toss or a traditional KB swing... the amount of hip extension/hyperextension is not even comparable.

Yes, I have incorporated the 1-2 jump squat in my routine for quite a while.
By the way - I haven't seen Lance around here in a while. Any idea of his whereabouts?

Well you get more calf involvement in the depth jump than in the jump squat since you have to take in a landing before jumping.
Also, after you take in the landing at an overloaded weight you can jump with only your bodyweight.
So it's a overloaded eccentric coupled with a bodyweight jump squat.

Actually, you can recruit all your motor neurons from doing 80%+ of 1RM squats, so the need of doing depth jumps knowing that is SEVERELY overrated.

No shit?! I thought he was fast enough to catch the ball in a full court sprint, jump and finish the alleyoop. Thanks for clarifying that.
