There are a lot of aerodynamics and physics at play during those crucial last few seconds. The pitch change needs to be fast, and the plane will need a few moments to decrease the sink rate - so yes, we call it a "break" where you do a fast and deliberate input. A lot of factors will affect the trajectory of the plane, and very few landings are really alike. We aim to fly the approach with Vref+5 (and wind correction), bleeding the speed of to Vref at touchdown.
Its mostly a matter of repititve training at different conditions.
