to get a greaser landing in a taildragger you need 4 things to occur simultaneously at the point of touchdown.
1. fuselage aligned in the direction of flight.
2. no sideslip.
3. minimum possible flying speed
4. no vertical speed

if you find after all this that you still bounce try doing the touchdown one wheel low.
the righting effect will stop most of the bounce.
