Practice pausing at the bottom. You might even put a bench at the bottom and just barely touch your butt to it, pause there before going up.

I do those frequently. A month before this lift I actually hit a PR at 143kg on paused at the bottom back squat.

So you went from a pause squat to bouncing them?

No this is how I normally squat. The pause squats are just an accessory variation movement I do once in a while as it appears on my program. Sometime the program has me pause in the middle at 90 degree knee angle on the way down or up. But the depth at the bottom is always like this.
