Pace and Timing are the biggest factors that have always kept me pointing. I had someone try to move me over to the "point, no look" method and it just never felt right (plus it just felt odd). On the occassion that I switch to a SB field during the HS season and MUST use the hammer I always get a feeling of being a little rushed, but that may be a personal quirk.

I'm really with everyone else here, that quick look to the side isn't going to leave you "missing" something, and if your game awareness is where it should be you've got the outside boundaries of your vision watching for a breaking runner somewhere and if that happens you got a whole new bag of tricks and a point mechanic is moot because you hopefully have an out happening somewhere else!
