I also like that the tail wheel, when it finally contacts, might be going 20 MPH more slowly - less wear and tear!
After several thousand three-point landings, I have been required to switch to wheel landings. The Bellanca Scout has a tendency to land tailwheel first when three-pointing and when doing at least five landings an hour while glider towing, broken springs are a fairly regular occurrence.
So the CTP at my gliding club has decreed that we should do "low-energy wheel landings" - that is hold off until nearly the three-point attitude, wait for the mains to touch and then quickly move the stick forward to plant the mains and raise the tail, at the same time dumping the flaps.
It took me quite a while to get the hang of it - I wasn't being aggressive enough with the stick movement and was bouncing all over the place. It feels completely unnatural and goes against everything I was taught.
My roll outs are much longer than before. I still prefer three-pointers.
