The old service rule also made quick serving more effective because you could deliver right out of your hand. Now that you have to toss the ball 6 inches above your hand there is no advantage to be gained so may as well take your time. |
Are you sure about that? I think we are talking here about now vs. the era before 2000, and not before say, 1975?
