Practice practice practice. Unless you are slamming in the first few beats of a track it's better to beat match and slam a record already in sync. It sounds flawless because it is. There isn't anything technically wrong with what you are doing but if you want to master it the best advice I can give you is learn at least the basics of scratching. You'll learn a tremendous amount or record control.
Just don't get frustrated. Working with vinyl took me years to master.
Lots of good replies here. Nice community building.
What program are you using? I use Virtual DJ software; not really familiar with the other programs anyways what I would do is scratch the song in so that you are already in motion when you let go of the record; practice this, you will get the feel for it. Another option is to start the mix 4 or 8 beats before the point you want to mix which gives you a little while to have the beats match then cross fade quickly when the mix hits the place you want. *you can set another cue point earlier. I hope this helps.

first beatmatch than find the cue point, scratch it on the beat with a closed channel, than when you let go decide if its on the right beat, practice this a lot and later you find out you will hit the right spot.
you need directdrive turntables and a little practice, thats all
I think it can sound as sharp as pressing the cue button on a cdj; like massie said, 'scratch' it in. Do it a few times with the rhythm to get the correct push-force of your scratch, and there you go.
