If you watch pros they will always start with diagonal flat drive rallies. Isn't a flat drive basically extinct at the pro level and more like a beginner level stroke? Pros never hit a flat drive/counter hit and usually hit a loop or loop-drive, right?
Couldn't they just start with loop rallies? Is that just a tradition from a time when pros would still hit flat drives in matches? Or is there a benefit of starting with flat hits?
