Having messed up a few PFLs, I think wind-speed plays an important part in stopping you reach the threshold. Glider Pilots make changes to Vx and Vy depending upon the direction of the wind. So if you usually fly at 65 knots for a calm wind approach, then consider 70-75 knots if you have any sort of headwind.
