Invert, Failing to Invert

This is a video of me jumping at a 12' bungee, the standards are all the way back, (to make me make sure I'm driving hard on the plant), Using a 12' 150 lbs pole, grip at about 11'8". This is a 4 left approach, just getting a lot of jumps in for this sessions, but even on my full approach, I really don't gain that much more height. I really fail to invert, and am seeking advice on what to change. I've read and watched a number of forums and videos that advise how to properly invert, but I can't seem to figure it out.
What I think is happening is that I don't swing up quick enough, resulting in me not being ready with my hips when the pole begins to uncoil. The difference I am looking for is instead of my hips shooting out, to shoot up. I think my plant and take off are good enough to put me in the position to have a better jump, but tell me if I'm wrong.
I am obsessed with correcting this and becoming a better vaulter, any input is helpful. Thanks.
