Hi, I've been making a swordfight game and the ability for one of the swords is to hit people and knock them back. The knockback works occasionally, but could use some improvement. What I mean by occasionally is that whenever the player is on the ground, the knockback never works, but it does in the air. Overall though, how can I make the knockback look and do better? I just would like it to feel more like you're being knocked back instead of the player just flying back with no effects. Help and ideas would be appreciated!

Here is the script:

 bat.Handle.hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		        if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			            if hit.Parent.Name ~= player.Name then
				                if debounce == false then
					                    debounce = true
					                    local force = Instance.new("BodyForce",hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart)
					                    force.Force = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 7000
			 
					                    hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(15)
				 
					                    game.Debris:AddItem(force,.5)
					                end
				            end
		        end
	    end)
