C172 short field landings

Hi guys.

I was just wondering if anyone has any contributions to make regarding the best technique of landing a new,very clean airframe C172R on short,grass strips.

i am based out of a large airport,and have surprisingly little experience on the latest 172s on short grass strips,having flown many hours in older ones,which have flap 40 deg and are generally much 'dirtier' airframes,so the 172R seems to float forever...a problem if you're heading for a ravine at the rwy end and still haven't touched down...

thanks
