Isn't it better though if the serve doesn't go back to the net and that the level of backspin is higher? This means that the serve is even more deceptive. As Brett Clarke said: the best serves are low, fast and spinny and lobbed serves are not as good.
Yes, double bounce short and half long serves are ideal at pro level, but you can serve ideal bounce ghost serves. CNT do it all the time. Trying to do it deliberately and consistently is what causes high serves at the lower levels, but if I look through my videos, I can find some ghost served the ball really low and fast and it went deep on third bounce. I can't do it with a gun to my head, but it does happen.
