Why does the spindash not launch off to a far distance?

I am making a Sonic-like 2D game and I am trying to get the spindash to work. It seems to charge correctly, but it is as if the way the force is applied doesn't allow the dash to launch off far. When running the game, I will charge the spindash and when I release it for it to shoot off, it barely moves. There is also an issue of it teleporting when its released and it dashes. For some reason, this problem only occurs in the X-direction. I am just testing it with a simple square because I have not added developed any original sprites yet. If anyone could help that would be great.
