see or feel ??

I definitely mean "feel" the aircraft begin to sink. How else would you know when to squeeze the stick gently back ??
May feel a fairly firm landing rather than a greaser but the object is to dissipate energy in the hold-off so once down it stays down.
Trundling onto the ground with the stick somewhere aft, in the hope a 3 pointer may happen isn't how to get the right result.
This may work on smooth strips but bumps etc will almost certainly cause a bounce.
Short landings are something else entirely.
