IMO our reality is more akin to having a monstrously heavy moving dart in one had -the barbell- and holding the target in our other hand -the depth and timing we want to hit. My two cents: The analogies of throwing a dart or a kettlebel for that matter, and achieving that perfect movement (The alignment in time of the stationary bar, the landing of the feet and the lockout) are not effective for me, and induce me to "drive and pray" adn what is worst, to overshoot my efforts. It is sort of like throwing a heavy kettlebell on top of your closet and skillfully having it land at the exact peak of its parabolic trajectory, thus falling almost silently, more like rolling on top, without a bump in the process. It was starting to go down, but it found your lockout and rested calmly :). Ideally you would lockout at exactly the moment the bar is starting to come down so you are in a strong stationary position, and the bar has no momentum. This problem obviously happens when you lockout while the bar is going up, or still floating, and it comes down even harder because you "pull it down". I think users uwatstud, bulldog73 and zodam are right in that diving under the bar must be more of a controlled-active-aware movement, never losing control and feel of the bar, and using it as leverage on the way down (I'm guilty of "drive and prey" here, that was a useful concept). I think it is a timing issue, like most users suggested, but achieving the lockout at the same time you land your feet, is like hitting a bulls-eye in a dart board for me, and doesn't take into account the bar movement at that moment.
I though at first it could be a strength issue, but that would make it happen more at heavy weights and, as you said, it is not weight related. I'm having exactly the same problem, and as opposed to other common problems I have, I can't seem to find drills or exercises clearly aimed at correcting it.
