I don't know yet--I've been doing feet-up benching this whole training cycle. I'll know in a week or two, but if I really focus on it, I can control it.
Something that I have found helps is to let me glutes really relax and sink into the bench as I'm bringing the bar down. Once I press and I drive with my legs, I flex my glutes real hard; that contraction keeps my glutes touching the bench even while initiating leg drive. If your glutes are already flexed hard and you're barely making contact with the bench, any movement is going to pull them off.
You can also try moving your feet maybe two inches further out ("out" as in towards your toes, so that your feet aren't as far underneath you) and trying to be more conscious of driving yourself "up" the bench.

Never thought about the glute flexing aspect
I would probably want to move my feet closer to get locked in though
Need to keep an eye on this

Yeah--if you were to move your feet out towards your toes, you'd want to bring your stance in.

Notes: I was really close to passing out on the bench sets so I racked them a little early. I have probably exhausted the majority of my neural gains on feet up work so I am going to use this as baseline
