I had the same problem for the first couple of thousand B777 hours, and then a smart F/O told me (F/Os usually have all the answers)

I was applying steady back pressure on the wheel after a "good" main gear touch down, in an endeavour to reduce the rate of descent of the nose-wheel to the runway..............WRONG!

Instead he suggested applying a small forward force to fly ther nose-wheel onto the runway, with a very small back pressure at the last moment to arrest the nose-wheel rate of descent.

It works a treat!!!!!!!!

Regards, and happy (smooth) landings,
