I have good strength but when doing presses such as bench presses, I tend to tilt the bar sometimes, and it is not because there is too much weight applied on the bar, it is more because I am not fluent with the movements yet. What is a good method of developing those type of free movements during presses to eliminate tilting the bar and getting a good, solid press each rep?

i think u should go down in weight and get the form down more then u will be able to progress. this will help u in the long run because u will have great form and u wont hurt yourslf. try adding weight when u think u have it down, ask someone to watch u do the presses to see if they see anything wrong. there should be no problem after this short phase. i hope this helps u in some way!! good luck to u!!

In addition to Kev's post, I would also suggest that you focus more on the exercises that work the bench's auxiallary muscle groups. Work on your triceps, delts, lats, etc. These are also your stabilizers, and are very important in maintaining control of the bar.
Best of luck...
