To be consistent you should be taking the same number and same size steps. With a 5 step approach, the ball does not move until the 2nd step. The first step is more of a timing step. The ball moves forward and down (push away) on step 2, step 3 is like walking past the ball, step 4 the ball is at the peak of the backswing, and step 5 is the slide and release.
My suggestion is to monitor when you actually push away the ball. Too soon and your body is behind the ball, too late and the ball is behind you. Either will cause inconsistency in the release. I had a problem with late timing and my body being at the line with the ball still in the backswing. This causes you to pull the ball through and muscle the release.
I hope some of this helps. Good Luck!
