This is a quick video of some shots. Theyre mainly forehands because my backhand are meh (swtiched to one hander a month ago).

Maybe keep a wider stance, especially on the backhands.
More knee bend.
More practice, of course.
Deliberate stroke on forehand. I don't know, maybe employ more topspin and faster swing.
Work in progress backhand, maybe decide top or slice, but use one or the other for a while to get ONE of them. Nice swing on topspin backhand, so maybe that can work with more spin for consistency.

Good fundamentals on your strokes. Your backhand is certainly a work in progress, but it looks like you can get there. Mostly, it seems you don't react to the ball well. Not so much of a problem with speed of movement, but more with anticipation, quickness to the ball, and getting into the right position (often you let the short balls get way too low). You have the ability to add a heavy topspin forehand, so you could work on that after you get your backhand going properly.

your Fh seems to be way better than your backhand.

Maybe you need to work on positioning and racquet positioning on your backand.

Forehand really looks good.
