I don't think the amount of product has anything to do with buffer hop. When your product cakes up from not cleaning/spurring your pad often can cause it to wobble. Also, your pad should always be flat, never tilted, because of the chance for swirls.
I always taught beginners to keep the speed low, use a generous amount of product(keep the surface /pad wet), keep it flat and have a firm grip. It takes lots of practice(100's of buff jobs) to consider yourself a seasoned buffer.
