Handling technique during flare

Gentlemen,


On the other day I was discussing with some fellow pilots about former guys handling techniques.
I remember that, when autothrottle were not available on classic jets, many pilots used two hands on control wheel during flare. Learning that way I always used this technique bearing in mind to react properly in case of a go-around/ bounced recovery.
Of course this is a point for discussion as one may well have the opinion of quick reaction times (even with FADEC?) whilst I insist in having the sensitivity for the exact amount of deflection to be applied (i.e. crosswind landing).
I would appreciate to see your opinions and your airlines SOPīs about this subject, if thereīs one.
And I am full aware that no matter where your hand is placed, most important is to grease the ground ...

Happy landings,
