Hi Jack,
The key is to swing through faster. This will do two things. It will give you the ability to generate more speed and it will also allow you to get it faster if you want to. For a faster serve contact the ball a little flatter.
Start with a bigger backswing and use your wrist on the swing through as well. Make sue you are contacting the ball with a brushing action. We cover this in our Tomahawk Serve tutorial.
