C172 landings
Whilst waiting for my licence to arrive,I decided yesterday to have check ride ( I hate that phrase-anyone got a better one?) in a 172,having done all my training on 150/152's.
The most apparent difference to me was the much lower nose attitude and better forward vis during cruise and climb.Maybe this is what is happening to you if you have flown something different before (like a 150)and you are trying to match the same flare attitude
I felt less aware of flaring in the 172 as I do in a 150.Had 3 landings,flapless,normal and glide and I don't remember the pull force before touchdown being particularly remarkable.
I did notice quite a long hold off even though we had full fuel and 3 POB.
Better luck next time.

Reason: mis read original post-thought you were used to 150/152 only.
