I remember you saying "this is my best serve," and serving short no spin. Hahaha. I go heavy and then no spin a lot.
It doesn't sound sexy at all to say your best serve doesn't have much spin or break or pace, but it is a reality for me. Sometimes I can do well with the heavier chop serves to control some players options, but when you play vs Div 1 crowd of 2000-2100s and up, they know how to handle a predictable heavy chop serve, so if you can show them the heavy, maybe get a point, then later pull the carpet out from under them, you get some good chances to go on attack 3rd ball. A short no spin ball that looks like it has more spin will set you up time and time again. If you can keep opponents guessing what is coming, or be sudden enough serving something unexpected, you can make an opponent wary to aggressively receive even a serve they know the spin.
