Fair enough. In common parlance, I'd take that as being "better than my typical performance" but not exactly rare or non-repeatable. So on a bad day, maybe half that rate? In my experience, 3 out of 10 is pretty hard to do.
As I said, at 50/50 25% would be direct losers and 25% would hit square and not deflect. Suicide or not would depend on the skills of the opponent. I find a short dead forehand serve to be pretty effective against most sub-2000 level players. I think 50/50 is where this serve could be viable. There is that "x-factor" of whether it will disrupt your opponent's mindset. Imagine someone serving edges and choing - because it is a skill shot and not merely luck. :^) |

I thought the idea was that just about every serve should be a surprise in that it isn't predicted. Matches are typically best of 5 or 7. At three times per game, that means you might use it 9-21 times in a match. There is no need to parse it down to three uses and shift the efficacy rate downwards. If you aren't using estimates of success in choosing serves and shots, then you aren't playing smart. All shots are "gambles" of some kind. If you aren't weighing the (perceived) odds in your serve and shot choices, then what the heck are you doing? |

Psychology is not more important than techniques or physical conditioni g but rather would be given equal importance. These 3 make up the training trinity of every sport. If you lack one of these areas then you will not go far.
