I'm sure its a slip of the keyboard but what you have described there is known in the trade as a reverse recovery. It can produce a very high rate of rotation spin that may prove very difficult.

It is most important that the first control application is rudder opposite to the direction of rotation. You should then pause (for the order of the time it takes for half a turn or to shout out loud PAUSE) before moving the stick progressively forward with ailerons central until the rotation stops. Chopping the throttle can of course be done at the same time as the rudder is applied
