Once you're at 4.5 most players seem to have a reliable 1st and 2nd serve and don't have major flaws in their technique. What makes a pro serve so much better than a top college player or college players better than a lot of teaching pros or 4.5 players? I understand with the overall game there are numerous other factors that separate different levels like anticipation, hitting on the run, handing different shots, strategy, etc.
With the serve you're in complete control so if you have proper form, are injury free, and practice for years what keeps most people's serve back? These high level servers often look effortless and yet completely blow away the serves from lower levels.
