I feel to be accurate with the stick you need to have high serve stats. Especially to aim out wide. My serve stat is usually low 60's so I don't use the stick as a 1st serve when playing someone who returns well.

button, that´s why serve is not my best shot

I agree with that. I haven't played with low serve stats very much, but when I did I always found stick a little harder.

If you serve and volley with the stick and serve animation A, I find it almost impossible to be accurate with a low serve stat.

I wish I could use the stick serve better, it seems to help some players be a lot more effective, especially those with lower serve stats, then they would using the buttons.
