Default RE: (still) Rudderly confused

Many of the instructors at my field are not big on rudder use, unless for 3D flying. There's one who I believe uses it a bit but hasn't been around in a few weeks. I heard on this forum that you should get into using it at the early stages, at least for landing and taking off, so I started with it right away, and I guess to the astonishment of the club instructors. They think I'm a little nuts for already trying to learn to use it, but then they haven't seen someone (well one other guy a few years back) pick up flying quite as fast as I did, either. I just hate the look of the plane going around a corner with the tail falling. I feel like it can be prevented. Maybe I should learn to accept it.
