Me and my hitting partner were both around 3.0 level and the other day we found out that if we use flat tennis balls to play we can sustain long time rally and the game is a lot more fun because we can keep the ball in play much longer. We can do baseline rally more than 10 times easily, sometimes more than 20. And I feel that I can whip at the ball a lot harder without worrying it will go off court.
Compared to a relatively newer ball, the flat ball is a lot less bouncy and the speed is slower and I think that will make you easier to hit.
Right now, both me and my partner love this idea, which makes our game so much more fun.
So my question is: is this a good way to practice with a flat ball to groove our strokes and footwork?
