I had a problem mainly with left-handed batters. I was squeezing the outside low corner. I started working a little higher and it opened up my view of the corner for me. I was a little ashamed that I didn't figure this out by myself but I had a good umpire tell me what he thought I should do. I didn't have a lot of chirping about my zone but I knew I was missing some close pitches. also,I never understood why but slowing down also helped me. I track the ball from the pitchers hand through (or not through) the zone, call the pitch in my head, and then call the pitch to everyone else. Seemed like it was to long of a pause but now it is very natural and flows very well. Just goes to show you that timing is everything.
