Have to agree with 3 Point to have hands off at V1 until thrust reduction. As mentioned many times, the Airbus TL are just switches and are not going to roll back by themselves. Having hands off is a nice reminder not to make a knee jerk inappropriate action at a critical point of flight. If you need TOGA then fill your boots but I do not want my 200hr RHS deciding to mess with the TL's at 50 ft. During approach is different because we are operating at a low power regime close to Vapp and very occasionally it requires a nudge of power (out of the AT range but below TOGA) if the speed trend is becoming uncomfortably low! During taxi I keep hands on the TLs so I can smoothly anticipate power applications to counter gradients!
