    There is a couple of things you can do but the most important thing is that you don't overdo it or you'll end up with a flat, inconsistant swing.

    Although, you are getting regular lessons right? Is in-to-out your own idea or did your pro advise this? If your pro advised it surely he gave you some drills? And if he didn't advise it then why are you self diagnosing?

    Aaaanyway, a good one is to hit balls without taking the weight off your right heel - it shouldn't budge off the ground. It's awkward but it stops you casting the club over the top and promostes dropping the club inside into the slot on the downswing. Do a couple in a row and go back and take one proper swing. Make sure you really get through the full shot, hitting into a firm left side while adopting the more inside downswing you'd been working on in the drill.

    Another little aid might be to put a second ball 4 inches outside the ball your striking, or as close as you dare so it looks like you might even catch the second ball with the toe of your club.

    It depends on how bad you were swinging out to in in the first place if you were slicing the ball badly.
    This would allow you to over do the in to out swing make sure your right hip moves back behind you on the back swing this will help you to get the club moving more around you.

    The thing you have to be careful of seanie is not to let the right knee and leg straighten on you.
    If you keep your right knee the same flex you should be ok.
    Let me know how is goes.

    waist turns to 45 degs and shoulders to 90 is the generally accepted basic swing.

    you're nuts to be just trying all this stuff on your own bat though
