Vilas, my A320 operator has this "full reverse then immediately idle" as a fairly common procedure, but not official SOP. I could never understand it myself, and personally will select idle reverse and listen out for a "reverse green" callout to confirm my selection.
Any chance you know where this habit comes from? Was it once recommended by Airbus?
Ta!
