Replying to Skating question

When popping hard for an ollie the board often shifts in the air so I land horizontally and can hardly ride away if at all. (Looks like an incomplete frontside ollie) This is happening pretty consistently. I have been dragging my foot straight up the board so not to push it in a spinning motion. So when I ollie on or off something with a lot of momentum it is dangerous because I often land awkwardly. Why is this happening? Is there a general problem that causes this?
