I was reading a USAF training manual from 1968 which was written in a pretty conversational manner and found it very useful.
The section on landing the C-47 made the point that if you are used to aircraft with a nose wheel then you tend to pull back on the yoke after touchdown when it is better to push forward.
I decided to give this a go and it is far and away the best technique I have tried.

I think of it as aero braking like you see on the F-16 except in reverse.
I keep adding forward yoke as the aircraft slows down. As I begin to run out of elevator I let the tail lower to the ground when I have the aircraft pointed down the center line.
If I don't have it perfectly centered when the tail wheel touches then I am ready with the tail wheel unlock (shift +G), by then the aircraft is slow enough to respond to rudder without any dramatic swings.
In general I find landings with this technique far more controllable with none of that frantic control inputs I tended to do with other methods. The key is being slower when the tail wheel touches down
