The correlation between serve success and location of the server 1

Jim Stone describes the correlation between where the server lines up on the back line and the serving success. What we should take from this: Serving location matters! The numbers show that there's a significant drop in side out efficiency from the opposing team when the server serves down the line. However, it's also harder for the server to get a good serve down the line since there's less distance to travel and you may be flirting with the sideline; it's a balance between reward and risk! A second takeaway is that serving from the middle of the court is a less lethal location to serve from and the side out percentages are higher.

Watching players serve from behind zone 6 always drives me crazy. It does not create difficult angles for passers. Also, not surprised that serving line is the most effective. I learned the corner to corner serving philosophy from you Jim...my Sr Girls High School team is one of the best serving teams. Last season 26% of our serves did not come back over the net! Alot of tactics and variation packed into that 26% number but it started with your idea that corner to corner serves gives the server an advantage.
Thanks!

Hello, I'm from România and still familiarizing with specific terms in english regarding the volleyball words . Please explain what does mean "side out".

Something I'm confused with the SO%: I (as the serving team) want a higher SO%, right??
If that's the case, then it should be a good idea to start serving 6-6, because has a 77%
Am I getting the stat wrong or it's something else I'm missing??

No, the receiving team wants to side out.
