Default Leading Turns With Rudder

I fly mostly Std. class 15m glass planes (sometimes Duo Discus) and I've
found that I feel it is the rate of rudder application that differs to make a
coodinated turn. I tend to move my hands and feet simulaneously but find how
quickly I get the rudder out to an optimum deflection for a turn is the
difference in the planes I fly.

Thats my sense of things.
