Ballance just takes practice & comes from having the right shape & squeezing ur mascles! Ur weights gotta be in ur fingers too, not on your palms so much.
You probably know all this though :P
Oh, and before pressing UP to hanstand, master pressing down in a slow controllled movement - its easier and going up is the same action reversed.
I've just about written a novel now. I'm not good at describing!! When I coach I do it hands on! Sorry!

A good exercise to to to get the right action for pressing to handstand is to support yourself between paralled bars (or on a tri-dips bar) with your piked to horizontal - then do 'rib crunches' where you pull the top part of your spine up towards the roof which pulling your ribs in & upwards, before returning to pike. Do sets of 10 or so controlled.

hehe, well 1st, make sure that when ur holding handstands against the wall ur doing it facing the wall - most ppl do it with their back to the wall, which gives u the wrong 'shape'for holding a handstand. u need to have ur ribs pulled up & in from ur top abs.
