Hi Chee Koo,

The key is to start to use your legs and whole body with your stroke.  The aim is to move your bat faster through the contact.  To do that you need to use a summation of forces from your arm, legs, waist and wrist. 

It is  important not to change your arm movement too much.  If anything you can get the arm swinging slightly more forward to get more speed.
