What? Have you ever flown a jet? When you're in ground effect you're still doing about 130kts average depending on your weight and preset ref speed. The point is you still have enough flow over all the controlling surfaces, and they still have enough authority, again, once you start flying something bigger than a cessna you'll see what I'm talking about. The trim is very responsive on the flare.
