Everyone serves long more than they used to - it all depends on how much you fear the opponent's attack. The spin people get off long serve attacks is not as vicious as it was in the 38mm ball era and people are realizing that and letting people open and then block/counter.
So develop your attack off long serves before/as you develop your flick.
