I thought about that too and remembered Ma Lin first as well I just reckon the amount of practice pros already invest in serves is so big that there can't be a lot of room for improvement. Btw, he didn't use the ghost serve because of the lack of deception it offered imo, not because it was not reliable enough. Pure speculation, though.I think if you have a free serve on each turn to throw away so to speak then I disagree that nothing much will change at the top level. The Pros produce incredible serves right now but even they are not the best they can do. Ma Lin has his ghost serve which never leaves the table and in fact backs up before it get to the end. Others have equally difficult serves. And if they knew they could always get a free serve if they failed they would push them even further to the edge.
