Narrative:
Completing touch and goes at home airport; I exited the runway xx in a left turn taxiway xx. Light variable winds changing direction slightly. Felt too much taxi speed turning onto exit. Wanting to slow down while in turn I braked too hard. Tail came up and prop strike flipping airplane upside down. I was solo and not injured. Correction = do not apply brakes in a tail wheel!!! Unless very; very light pressure.
