Well it all depends on your personal level, the level of the CPU, and also the amount of topspin you use. If you play against anything lower than lets say master 10 then if you are a good player, you might have always enough time to accelerate so you might not have experience playing pushed to the very limits, it all depends. Also if you play with high topspin accelerations might land a bit shorter. I play around 45-57 during the year, changing depending on the tournament being played, and my accelerations (cross and DTL) always land deep if I hit them clean and well prepared. Also, the height of the ball you're hitting also affects. When the ball is lower changing direction is more risky and the shot tend to be more loopy, in the contrary if you hit an accel DTL off a high ball, the ball will go more straight through the air and land deeper in general. It's all contextual, I've never felt accels down the line land short when done correctly (mine and the opponent's too)
