A couple of possibilities come to mind. Do you think one of these applies?

1. Rounding out too late, and therefore hitting the ground before achieving
a level attitude
2. Rounding out OK but raising the nose too much, then losing speed and
stalling, resulting in a short drop to the ground?

I've noticed a couple of times recently that I got distracted after rounding
out OK (perhaps by needing to correct my direction or to level my wings) and
let my speed get too low. That causes a stall at just a foot or half-foot
above the ground, leading to a bump onto the ground.

I am one of those people with ongoing intermittent landing problems. I
have good patches - managed to get solo recently - and then bad
patches. The bad patches probably co-incide with forgetting to look up
as I start the round-out, so there is no hold-off and a rather heavy
landing, sometimes with a bounce.

I've got my own ideas on how to address this, was curious if anyone
else here has had the same problem and if so, how did you deal with it?
Unfortunately I reckon I developed the bad habit fairly early in my
flying, as it was well-established by the time someone pointed out what
was going on. Since I seem to be reasonably good at doing what I'm
told to do, via a route from ears to hands & feet that misses my brain,
I suspect I've flattered to deceive in the front seat.
