Difference between 90 mph and 120+ mph serve?

[SuperDuy]

Radar read a good deal lower back then. I have clocked in the low 120s with a cheap crap wooden racquet I bought for $3 at the thrift store.

I have a bunch of them. I play them until the string or the frame breaks. It is cheaper to buy a new racquet than restring one.

No, they all go for too much money, I just want to play with one, so I am not willing to pay a lot for it.

I got a nice Kramer Auto, so at least have a Wilson.

I am sure I will run into a borg one of these days.

TracyAustin first serves around 85, seconds closer to 60.
Martina's fastest firsts when into the 105's, but she used slice and topspin mostly, and speeds dropped into the mid 90's.
At the same time, the VictorAmaya's and Stich's monsters hit 140 mph serves.
