Default Landing with reduced airbrake

I try to get the bulk of braking done during final, and to flare at about half brake. i havent however, had any problems with full brake landings.
I dont stress about not flying the glider on a bit either, and neverr have trouble with bounces.
I had a partciularly nasty experience in an old twin Astir, when a gust just after a fully held off landing lifted the nose and caused a very heavy landing, despite closing the brakes very quickly.
