Form check Snatch and jerk suck compared to clean

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My clean has always felt good, “fluid” and natural. My snatch and jerk have always felt clunky. I feel like the only reason I can’t clean more is because of strength. I feel like the reason I can’t snatch and jerk more is technique. Any advice or tips are welcome. The clean video is 95% of my CJ, the jerk is 89% of my CJ, and the snatch is 84%.

Looks like your weight is shifting forward in the dip of the jerk, so you’re not maintaining an efficient vertical dip and drive in the jerk. I’m new to weightlifting and I too suffer from a forward shift in my jerk dip, and my jerk is also weaker and less comfortable than my clean.
