brakes question

i noticed that my brakes were acting funny at times. everything feels smooth, and no funny sounds (i put new rotors/pads a few weeks ago), but sometimes when i hit em rather hard and it catches on at the end (like if i had pressed the pedal even harder, when i didn't). it did that before i changed the brakes/rotors as well, so i know i wasn't the cause. does anyone know what that "catchy" feeling can be caused by? thank you.

how far into your braking does it "catch"?

I thought that maybe the "catching" your feeling is the trans downshifting. Been watching RPMs while this happens or no?

no, the needle doesn't jump or anything, everything sounds smooth, just under heavy braking. could it be my master/slave cyl, or maybe i should bleed my brakes (i don't know any of the symptoms of the above problems, so i'm just guessing)?
