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.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
