Greetings,

What matters most is the height at which you start your flare.
You flare too high hard landing too low hard landing.

Personally I dont look at the end of the runway ( most of the time you tend to go where you look at, means floating floating floating ) on the A330 20-30 feet on the 767 20-30 feet on the 777 30-35...
So next time the captain flares look at the radio altimeter (or listen to the call) and picture it
During flare, thrust redution is gentle, and just reduce your rate of descent to something less than 500 feet/mn
after few adjusments you will be called mister smooth, and you will ask for the after very nice landing checklist
