If the ball is "outside" the lines and you are using rudder it to correct based on what you see with this instrument, the technique being used is not working, because it's not keeping you from getting uncoordinated in the first place. It's only telling you that you are already screwed, so to speak. When coordination is better, the wing drops are less to non-existent and a bit of buffeting tells you to pitch down, stall is over. The coordination aspect is often the most lacking as far as instruction/teaching, with lots of methods given that don't necessarily help students fly the airplane or result in repeatable reliable results.

It would help though to know what is the most frightening aspect of these for you?
I guess that there is a lot going on. Keeping coordination with rudder and light aileron control, and the thought of spinning if it goes wrong.
