That small pad is just spreading the polish around at the speed he's going. The smaller the pad, the less cut it has because it has less area to spin. I cannot think of the term for this, but doesn't it have to do with leverage - a longer distance away from the center results in a longer stroke.
I'm surprised he's having a hard time with a small pad, even if he's pushing down too hard - small pads never give me trouble except the fact that it takes longer to cut with them. I have the same polisher.
Oh, also something that nobody has mentioned - I think his trigger arm is way too far forward. It's just me, but I always keep my thumb on the power switch as well.
