Tongy, you just described a typical PJ warrior landing!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who treats warriors like that, they do glide forever.

I'm not sure about 172s but in a warrior I tend to keep it at 80kt on final, reducing to 65 at the threshold, holding the speed and descent with extra power before cutting the power over the numbers, no bumps, no bounces.
I also have the luxury of a long runway at Cardiff but tend to sod off to Swansea and Shobdon every now and again to deprive myself of that luxury and keep the landings crisp.
I've never flown a 152, but in our 150 I never use full flap (40 degrees) since it'll never go around with that much flap on.
That's it, really.
