Try shadow exercise with a heavier bat.

I use Indian clubs(small 3lbs/1.4kg) to help improve wrist and shoulder mobility/strength.

These videos are pretty good. Especially the Indian Clubs - first time - I've seen them - they excellent exercises for racquet sports - especially for Tennis and Badminton!

Go to the swimmong pool. look for shallow water, about waist height. keep your arm under water and make a forehand swing til your arm is out of the water. it's really heavy because water has more resistance than air. you can do it with your wrist only too.

Resistance bands and simulate the stroke.  Has to be explosive motion for the polymetric exercise to work though.

This is the old school way, before the industrial revolution era.  It's also a cheap and excellent way to improve not just wrist strength, but everything else as well.  This is because water provides resistance to every motion you make, not just one specific muscle, so say if you want to improve your backhand, you can do the entire motion (wrist snap, forearm, shoulder, waist, everything!) underwater and every movement will be trained.  Since you'll be in water, you won't get hot either!

I have used a wrist exercise ball - it helped with my tennis elbow as well as developing more flexibility and strength in wrist and forearm areas.  
I don't recall which brand I used - here's a link to one that looks very similar www.amazon.com/fun-Gyro-Wrist-Exercise-Ball/dp/B0002KQ7IW

HOW TO MAKE YOUR WRIST STRONGER ...

Yes, most seniors do suffer with infirm wrist muscles.   Hence, they cant use wrist power to the full.
Once you have got a clicking sound in your wrist it is time to betake to some wrist therapy or wrist exerciser.

This is my own choice.

Some more hints on the subject:
-- Use two units at a time, one hand clockwise and other hand counterclock rotation...

Be happy, my pretty one...

Your wrist and arm are not the weak links limiting the power of your smashes. Instead, I would suggest reevaluating your technique and learning to tap into the stronger muscles of your lower body and core to generate force. Think of your arm like the end of the whip--it delivers the stroke but it is not the origin of the power.

My go-to exercise to develop strength and power for this is the rotary medicine ball toss. 

And these can easily be done at home provided you have a sturdy wall!
