Did some tests with 91/100 (Gallo) and 98/98 (Babb)
Concerning serve speed both setups were nearly equal, perfect straight serves from the T-line would produce speeds between 200-234 km/h for Gallo and 205-234 km/h for Babb. In both cases the average speed was about 220. Good serves were between 192-196 for Gallo and 199-201 for Babb. 234 km/h is a hard cap for male players. Some speeds should be taken with a grain of salt because the clock sometimes doesn't record them and if you see the same speed popping up multiple times in a row it's mostly a case of non-recorded serves. The way I served (against Profi scrub CPU's), Babb produced more aces than Gallo because his serves were more precise (+7 points and Serve Stick Berserker. Focus Service didn't kick in because I was never trailing). In one game I hit 20 aces in 6 service games. The problem with Babb is that once the ball is into play, both of his skills become useless whereas Gallo's DHH is great for rallies, his IOM is not that useful though because Inside outs are already naturally stronger and you're taking some risk by performing them on awkward shots.
