Hey... this will work...please follow these instructions:
These are based on a right hand hitter.
Stand at the serving line with your left foot forward, right foot back.
Hold the ball in your left hand, out in front of you about 4 inches about your head.
Take your right hand and hold it about 12 inches behind your right shoulder.
Hold your hitting hand like a waiter/waitress holding a serving tray with items on it. (Your palm should be flat)
As you approach hitting the ball with your right hand, lightly throw the ball in the air with your left hand, about 4-6 inches in the air.
Bring your right hand forward, hitting the ball, while snapping your right wrist at contact.
You are almost slapping the ball. Feet should remain in place with only the right foot going from flat foot to the heal being lifted.
Sounds complex, but follow the instructions..you'll be a pro soon. Plus, you wont have to hit the weight room to bulk up.
Good Luck.. Hit away!

Maybe try hitting it with the lower part of your palm. Or make sure your whole hand hits the ball...
Make sure you're not hitting the ball off balance or on a weird angle...
