spins from coordinated flight

I have a limited exposure to spins (I've demonstrated spins or
received spin instruction in 5 different airplanes on
six different occasions). I have a commercial certificate (although
you wouldn't think so from my demonstration
of a chandelle). Maybe I did have to demonstrate a power on stall
while in a climbing 20 degree bank, once.
As I recall, we survived it.

I return to the original question: if the ball is in the middle will
it spin?

Well, I don't think it will IF it's perfectly co-ordinated, which, if
you;re letting the airplane do it's own thing with only the same amount fo
rudder you were carrying up to the stall, it probably won't be.
Looking at the ball isn't going to get you very far at that stage anyway.

You have to fly the airplane through it.
I do agree that it's more satisfying to undertand the machanics of what's
going on completely, but havng done departure stalls in a variety of
airplanes, I've found them to behave in different ways in this situation.
Mostly, though, if you just let the airplane do it's thing (i.e, become a
passenger) it will roll over the top and enter a spin.
