underhitting
Not enough power
Underhitting is striking something with less force than intended or required.
In sports like tennis, golf, or baseball, underhitting a ball means failing to make solid contact, resulting in weak shots that fall short: She's been underhitting her serves all match.
The term applies whenever insufficient force undermines the desired result.
