I use this technique and it works very well for me. A mistake I made when I was a newer shooter was applying too much pressure with my shooting hand. This caused my trigger pull to become jerky and inconsistent, though at the time I didn't know what was causing it. Now I apply most of the pressure with my support hand, and try to keep my shooting hand as relaxed as possible. This greatly increased my trigger pull consistency, and at the same time still manage recoil.
