Three things that might help stay tight, and possibly improve drive.
1) "Row/pull" the bar towards your chest.
2) Expand and tighten your abs. Push your gut out and keep it tight instead of sucking it in and tightening it.
3) Drive/push your hips towards your shoulder blades. This helps me stay tight, allows for better eccentrics.
All 3 of these help me. I'm no bench expert, but I would give them a shot. Perhaps someone who knows more can comment on them.
The bottom line is that they help me keep a tight overall torso and I feel more recoil/power.
