Strokes
Is it possible to put your weight into a backhand to add more power to it? Or is it better to focus on the wrist to provide all the power?
Additionally, what about the forehand? Is it he same situation there as well? I'm trying hard to work on power lately.

Hi Chris,
A lot of power comes from rotation both with forehand and backhand.
I like this link we showed recently on our Ask the Coach Show to the Karate Kid. Karate Kid II Drum Scene. We also talk about it during Show #169.

In this video we show you a simple trick to improve your strokes by making them more economical. You'll notice increased power for less effort. When you tense your muscles too much you actually get less power and become more tired. However when you relax the opposite happens. It's why all the best players look like they are hitting the ball so hard without much effort.
