Correct way to pick up the wing in a stall

[gil_mor]

Hi all,
One of the things I like the most when working with a different CFI is the different opinions about things.

Today, we did stalls.
As a student I was thought - pick the low wing with the rudder.

CFI: "Use aileron, otherwise you could enter a spin"
Me: "Adding that rudder is will cause the lowered wing to move fwd, get more lift and raise to normal".
CFI: "On 172's the stall starts on the root of the wing, use ailerons.
Me: "You are the CFI, I do as you say.

What do you guys say?

Did using ailerons put you into a spin?
Reality trumps opinion.

Go back to your first CFI.

Which of the two claims that his CFI made are wrong?

Ok, found the answer (in the Airplane Flying Handbook)

You beat me to it!
The thing the CFI failed to say was to also use rudder with aileron to stay coordinated.
The rudder-only myth has come up before in other forums.
I suspect some may confuse the spin recovery technique with stall recovery, but am not sure about that
