> Sounds like you have some linear aspects to your swing like "take your hands to the ball"...I think it would benefit you to think "Take the bat head to the ball". As you initiate the swing, your back elbow should come in against your side. You should then begin rotation with the hips/lower body first. This will pull your hand through correctly with CHP(Circular hand path). To add addtional power, as the bat is entering the hitting zone, apply bottom hand torque. The easiest way to do this pull back on the handle of the bat with your bottom hand.

Hit a punching bag or a tire sunk in the ground...you need to get square, inside is a GOOD thing, it an easier adjustment to get square then being around. watch the flight of your ball after you hit it, hooked, sliced or backspin strait?
