I have an odd senario I wanted some of you guys to consider. A kid I work with is driving the ball regularly with an authority to the opposite field you don't normally see in a kid. Usually if a kid is going to right its because he's late. He is not late when hitting to right, he is right on the ball. He does this so well I don't want to disturb this part of his swing, but at the same time something he's doing is not allowing him to use the left side of the field.
