Don't just hit it and hope it goes in a different one, aim for one and keep adjusting until you can get it and keep doing that. For speed, try bending your legs and flicking your wrists. The legs is an easy fix. Put a small cone, waterbottle (on its side) or something on the service line laying down. Your goal is to jump over it as you serve so you start behind the baseline and end up in the court afterwards. As for the flick in your serve, that'll just come with practice over and over as you serve. As for percentage, I'd say 80% of first serves is a pretty good percentage. I probably average 60% and hit somewhere around 80-90 mph and I'm only 5'6" Trust me, with work and practice you'll get it down. The big thing is to make sure vary your serve and don't always hit a kick serve for accuracy, try placing water bottles, cones, using sidewalk chalk to mark the service boxes into three sections: inside, body, wide
