Hi Jimmy,
Speed of shots doesn't inly come with the amount of strength. It also depends on your power. This is determined by your strength and your speed. To get your bat to move faster you also need to have your muscles working in the correct order. If you try too hard, then your muscles start to work in the wrong order and will actually lead to less speed.
Try relaxing a little more and let the bat swing through more naturally. You will be surprised at the amount of speed you can generate.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.

You can use your body by turn your body when the ball come to the right position turn your body back and hit the ball that way you can generate the speed and when you want to smash the ball but you can't get the power try to jump. (I know it is very strange for you but I see a lot of professional players like Alios jump and hit the ball.) Thank you for reading my suggestion.
