I agree also with the "proper timing" school of thought.
I point also, but right only regardless of the batter. With runners on base I'll concentrate more on keeping my eyes on the field.

I've also tried the hammer but felt rushed. I guess it's because my tendency is to hammer as I was coming up from my stance while when pointing I'd be fully standing before the point. I guess I could make it work for me with practice but I'm happy with the point.
