Hi Mark,
It may just be a timing problem. Try to hit the ball at the top of the bounce. This will give you a better margin of error. Also slow down the stroke for a while and try to put a little topspin on the ball. As you get the timing and feel for it you can flatten out the contact and hit it harder.
