There is another silly way to make good landings, always add 20 kts and float down the runway to a smooth landing.
Unless the weather dictates otherwise, idle landings will give you the shortest landing distance. That is all I care about. A smooth landing is not a good landing unless it is done at the correct spot at VRef -5 and at idle thrust.
In my career, I have only come across one pilot pushing the throttles up just before touch down. He would ALWAYS land at Vref + something and would ALWAYS use more runway than required.
