Hi Michael,
The key is to get your racket travelling fast on contact with the ball.
You may need to get more body rotation or more movement from back to forward to help this depending on the type of shot you are playing and the amount of time you have for the stroke.
The other thing that will help is to get a flatter contact.

There are 3 basic areas to focus on when learning a stroke: 1) The position of your feet. 2) The starting position of your bat. 3) The finishing position of your bat. Of all these 3 elements the finish position is the most critical. Watch this video to find out why.

thanks alois i did try a flatter contact tonight but all the ball did was float over the net instead of just going over normally so my coach said maybe i need to upgrade my rubbers to slightly faster ones so it dont float
OK, sounds like a good plan.
