Robin DR400/180 stick back at start of the roll

Hi all,
I've recently changed my ATO and now will be trained either Grob or Robin. I already had a flight in Robin, where the instructor showed me something that I've not done before: holding the stick in back position form the start on the runway.

Earlier in Piper, I had to hold the forward pressure to keep the nose down until 60kts ('air speed live') and at 70 kts take off.
Somehow I forgot to ask the FI why he told me to hold the stick back. I will ask him the next time. But meanwhile, if you know it'd be great to learn from thoughts.

I should mention that it is a short 480m of grass runway.
