Tweaking the throttle on approach
An aspect of an expedited approach because of following traffic being
overlooked is to carry more airspeed over the numbers, slow down and
touch down close to where you're going to leave the runway.
Too often guys is light GA airplanes will land a few hundred feet past
the numbers when the turn off is 2500 feet ahead of them. Fly to
within a thousand feet, land, and clear the active.

You're braver than I am.
A short approach doesn't have to be crazy but some of us like it that
way :-)
You don't feel it because the air and the ground are not connected..
That makes sense. I guess there's no telltale squeal of tires.
There is no tyre noise until you touch down, of course, and you need
to look out the window to establish how much you correction you need
to apply..
