I had this same problem on my first 7s. Keep your shins on the front of your boots when you pop, it feels weird but it works. You have to actually like lean forward and commit.

Try to spot after 5. Also a grab might help, for a first grab I would recommend safety or japan. Wide stance going in and an explosive pop.

brace your core!
While you're looking for your landing, which is below you, you're probably bending over.

Keep your head over your shoulder! When you get to bigger spins it's really easy to start looking down at 5 because that's what you're used to doing. Don't! You should stomp it first try.

Start with a 15-25 ft jump, make sure you can get simple 540s off it, then after you get that down, throw a little faster, act as if you're going for a 5 but keep looking and when you get around just spot your landing.

Wide stance, and what the first reply said, you really need to stay forward. If you lean back while spinning at the same time it's inevitably you'll end up partially off axis.
