Okay, so heres the story, my round off back handsprings suck. I can not get my hands on the ground when I do it, my couch says it's cause I don't get my feet under enough in my round off. Suggestions to help me improve is GREATLY appreciated!!!
 
Videos would be helpful but here is my guess.
You need to have a lower lunge entering your round off to turn it over faster. Make sure your arms are in close to your head as this will give you more lift off of your hands and more time to get your feet under in the round off.
also
Many people start to do their back handspring before the round off is finished. I.e. you are thinking about the back handspring when you haven't done the round off yet. Focus on the round off. If you do it correctly, the back handspring will come more or less on its own.
