Chances are good that those left shots are the result of a breakdown of the left wrist. The swivel does two important things - it helps force your pivot to move through and it helps keep that left wrist flat. Unless you use a strong left hand grip, a swivel should not send the ball left.

Either way, experiment with a swivel that is aggressive until you can 'hear' your shots. If at that point the ball is going left, check that your left hand grip isn't too strong.
