All professionals should have a jump serve in their repertoire of serves. It's the one that is the fiercest weapon. If you hit a really good jump serve, it's very difficult to pass. But all professional players also have a good float serve - based on the wind conditions, you may want to use a float serve. You can get the float serve in 100% of the time. With the jump serve, there is a chance of making a mistake because you are hitting it very hard. With the float serve you aren't certainly hitting it as hard - you are keeping it in play and letting the wind do the work for you.
