Approach / Landing with Flaps Up

Do you have a reference for pilot procedure to fly faster in order to reduce touchdown pitch attitude? All I can find is increments above Vref as a function of flap position.

One of the keys to effective braking following landing touchdown is to get as much weight as possible on the wheels as quickly as possible. Touching down with a higher pitch attitude means that derotation by itself will put more weight on the wheels thus making braking more effective.
