Default Landings

Hello all. My landings are pretty much textbook from the approach down to about 2 ft above the runway, thanks to many hours on the
the flight simulator before attempting to really land. However, I bounce my .40 trainer 4 out of 5 landings. I've probably landed about 40 times so far. The worst thing that has resulted is damage to the wooden prop (are plastic props more rugged in this regard?). One out of every 5 landings is totally perfect, just wheels turning, and I don't know why. Why am I bouncing? Any comments on flare techinques that my help me land smoother?
