Kwachon, did you intend to say "... applying rudder ... to slow and eventually arrest the rotation. When the yaw rate has dropped or stopped, backpressure should be eased off ..."? In many types you'll be waiting a long time for anything to stop if you hold the stick on the back stop, and may well cause a rather rapid transition into something a little more aggressive in the opposite direction.
As we all know, the POH will have the optimum answer.
