You have to stop pulling. You are killing your swing and pole rotation by pulling down hard when you see the bar.

I would recommend spending some time at practice with no bar or bungee. Take 2 or 3 practice sessions swinging to the top of the pole and holding the inverted position, without coming off the pole. DO NOT PULL. Focus on keeping your arms up while you swing.

Here's another good drill for you. http://youtu.be/Gn5LIiHmPlY

There's a number of othr issues, but your pulling problem is by far the largest. Arms up and swing!
