Landings

Dear Guys
I am writing here today to clear some confusion about landing.

I fly or shall i say i am learning to fly P28. POH, forums , other pilots and my instructor say touchdown speed is 60 knots. I touchdown at below 50 or even touching 40 knots, just seconds before touchdown my yoke is completely pulled back thereby reducing speed to 40-50 way below then poh speed. yet there is no stall warning or rough land .my landing is very smooth, plane gently touches down on runway,no stall beep or any landing discomfort.

Now my reason for asking this question is am i wrong. Am i walking on the thatched roof at 2000 feet or since i am of minuscule weight i should be OK.

thank you.
