Question

Often on short final to runway 20 at my home airfield we encounter some quite nasty sink usually only 100ft or so agl,which I quite naturally correct with a big squeeze of power as I have been taught the conventional method of power for height, so if I am unexpectedly going down too fast it is a natural reaction.I was just wondering what a low time pilot would do if he were trained in point and squirt,would he naturally pull back on the stick to regain the glideslope,and leave the power until a visible drop in airspeed occurred,thus quite probably inviting a stall at low level?
I would very much like to give point and squirt a go,but would appreciate some feedback on my concern first.
keep safe,
