Good judgement says we should give the rudder as much authority as possible. Airspeed & Power are the obvious ways to increase rudder effectiveness, but we often forget the role that elevator plays in this as well. For example, after a wheel landing, we want to keep the tail up high where the rudder’s not shielded by the fuselage. This also moves the CG forward - closer to the main wheels to make taxiing more stable... or more accurately stated, less unstable. Then as airspeed fades and the tail starts to come down, we don’t want to hold it in the ‘gray area’ with the tail neither up high nor on the ground. We want to deliberately transition through this gray area, not smashing the tail to the ground, but not lingering there either. Once the tailwheel is on the ground, immediately pull ALL the way back on the stick and now we have good steering authority once again.
Here’s a few videos showing what can happen when we forget this (which is easy to do). Pay close attention to the elevator/stick position in each of these videos. There’s more going on than just elevator position in each of these as well, but the elevator played a role. Thanks to those willing to share these videos so we can all learn.
