Hi, the OP does not mention which aircraft he is flying, although I seem to have heard PA28 or C172 mentioned. If he was flying the PA38 Tomahawk
then most stalls usually result in the left wing dropping into a spin, which obviously requires the spin correction technique.

In comparison a C152 can be held continuously in a mushing stall, as long as you use ample rudder to pin the nose on a distant landmark. This results in a continuous loss of height of about 200fpm, which is much the same as the power off glide. and no stall pitch forward occurs.
