737CL Landing technique

Hi all,

Ok I've looked it up on the forum here and haven't anything to answer my question, so here it is.

I've been told (and shown) one way to land the aircraft, where at about 400 feet RA(just like the Autoland does it) you trim it nose up a notch or three, then keep the forward pressure on the control column and release it just prior to flare, then bring thrust levers to idle and just raise the nose a bit with the control column this time NOT the trim.

Yes, FCTM says that using trim on flare could result in a tail-strike, however the method I described above is somwhat half true to that.

Is it wrong? Is it good? Has anyone else tried it? Anyone heard about it?
