That's key. One thing that can really help wit that is to make sure that the pivot hand is centered, rather than off to the side. In the video here it seems to be slightly to the right. Try it with it more centered and I think you'll see that it helps. Another item is to try to grab their hand or fore arm with your hand that is on the side you are doing the "duck under" on. In the case of this video that is the left hand of the bottom man grabbing the wrist of the right hand of the top man. This gives you a lot more control over the should as you duck under it, and allows you to put on some pressure if you need to.
