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.
Tailwheel aircraft pilot reported aggressive braking resulted in a loss of control during taxi.
