[QUOTE=RAT 5;9909507]No apologies, but this is plagiarised from my post on Tech Log B737 Over-runs thread.

I found many pilots were not advised how to 'put it down'. If it became necessary it was often caused by too much back elevator; thus the answer was to relax the nose and land flat; or worse. The other danger is pulling back even more. My technique, if tending to float a couple of feet above the tarmac, was to 'drop a wing', remembering of course where the wind was. Immediately a main wheel touches down the speed brakes deploy and the a/c sits down.
It's a simple technique, it works, and is not emphasised; but I used to teach it.

Don’t know about on a 737 but in other types that’s an easy way to drag a wing tip or engine pod. We used to correct that technique if it was noticed on a line check .
