Hi Eirik,
To make any or your attacking strokes faster you can start to use more body and move your arm through faster with the swing. The movement of body can be subtle with just a little hip movement coming through.
The contact of the bat on the ball can be flattened out as well to generate more speed. The thinner the contact the less distance the ball will travel, and conversely, the flatter the contact the further the ball will travel. There is a trade off between the spin and speed to gain consistency versus speed.
In our Premium lessons we have some more information on hitting the ball faster.
