    Post footage. Are you too stiff? Can't answer your question without more detail.

    They can't see your feet when they're looking at the ceiling.

    Footwork is everything bro. Drill, drill, drill, drill and drill...and then when you're done, drill some more.

    What helped me was using a speed ladder. Do three minute rounds alternate between foot in every hole, foot in every other hole, side stepping, ali shuffle, etc.

    Walking drills helped as well as using a rope to practice walking while slipping.

    Another thing that helped me was using the maize bag coupled with shadow boxing. Helps you move in the pocket.

    The main thing is to just to log the hours.
