IMHO, it would help to have a solid negative bridge in place to build speed. I use "uh uh" to tell the dog "Not good enough. Try again". But the dog must have a keen understanding of what it means.
I may be off-base here, but what I think I saw in your video was akin to a boxer whose style is to counterpunch. Your dog seems to be focused on the reward, and he's anticipating when it will come. However, you have done a good job of varying your reward schedule, so he is not sure when he will get marked and rewarded. In other words, he's going through the motions of doing commands, while trying to time when the ball will come out. Like Bob said, so back to basics and break each behavior down individually. Get him to focus on complying, rather than trying to figure out at what point the reward will come.
All JMHO.

Cutting the rewards out of the video would be like telling someone how to fly a plane but not telling them how to land.
We can't offer correct advice when we see only a part of what/how your training.

OK, thanks for all the replies. I guess I have some reading to do, and then I probably get to tape a full video with rewards included next week.

Michael, it doesn't have to be long or repetitive. All were wanting to see is your concept of marker training.
The rules are pretty cut and dried but yours seems.......confusing to those of us that have been doing it for a few yrs.

Just rewatched this video and it absolutely pertains to what you're working on.
"http://leerburg.com/flix/player.php/200/Increasing_Your_Dog's_Speed_in_Performing_Exercises/"
(Cut and paste because the apostrophe is confusing UBB)
Hey thanks, I watched that video. If I understood this right, then it seems difficult for the dog to understand the concept of speed. And there are slow dogs out there. He talks about preparing the dog before in command? I have to think about that.

I just watched my video again. In my video I don't mark anything, that's right.
Is that the confusing part?
Usually, when I train, then I go about saying or signaling the command, or both together, then marking it with yes, no, or good, then after that I give the reward, what is mostly the ball or at least a good praise with a little rub.

"Saying or signaling the command or both together"
Marking with yes, no or good"
Can you see the confusion in that?
The actual marker should be consistent in what you uses and consistent in it's timing.
To become a good dog trainer you need to follow some sort of consistent format.
You dog "IS" learning but it could be so much easier for both of you.

I'm going to be much more blunt; we can see that you are sincere in your questions.
The marker means ONE THING! It means "Correct! Reward is coming!"
Please ask us if you need a refresher on what markers mean, or are supposed to mean, to the dog, and how to demonstrate that (charge the marker).
