Exercises are doing all the different kicks slow motion as high as you can and holding the extended leg to the count of ten before rechambering it. No cheating and counting real fast. Also standing on one leg with the other one pulled up as high as you can so the thigh touches your chest and the heel is pulled in tight. Hold that for a minute or two then switch to the other leg, do 3 reps.
You do not have to use ankle weight to improve your kicks (however it does help a lot), Do proper dynamic stretching before you do your kicking drills. Remember static stretching will not help your before your kicking drill (static stretches can be done for doing splits or after the drill to relax your muscles). Include slow kicking in your drills and try to kick as high as possible in a controlled manner, where you keep your legs in the highest point you can reach for atleast 5 seconds. This will help you gain more muscle control and power which will eventually improve your kicks!.
No, ankle weights are not the thing to be using. using them in the way you describe is called ballistic stretching, and that uses momentum to increase range of motion. You'll greatly increase your chances of injury, and you won't increase range of motion.
Dynamic stretching or PNF stretching is the only way to go, coupled with weight lifting. This is the only way to increase your range of motion and to maintain strength. Every other day, and under the proper guidance of a personal trainer or coach.
DO NOT use ankle weights. These only cause damage to your joints. Just keep practicing. And working with partners who don't have the same flexibility as you doesn't mean they aren't good partners.
Stay standing and lift your one leg high and place it against a wall and stretch that leg to get flexibility. Make sure the standing leg is stable as if you were kicking.
You're right and repetitive practice just the way you described it should work just fine.
stretching is crucial.all kind of stretching is must.
practice very slow roundhouse kick.
practice kick-hold.

Don't really trust my training partners because most of them don't have the flexibility I'd hope for.
Just thinking on my own is it as simple as stretching every single day and using ankle weights to strengthen the muscles you use to pick the leg up? (not full speed, bust your freaking joints)
With time this approach should allow strong kicks overall.
