Default Stall turns

When I do a stall turn my airplane won't easily turn to the left. It hesitates and I have to really kick in throttle. To the right it's great. What's the cause of this condition? Help.

Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this!!

Do your pivot to the right if that works the best

It can be all of the above. Most importantly you must leave a few clicks of throtle in to give you good prop wash to have the rudder authoriy to do a good stall turn. pull to vert draw line ease off the throtle slowly till the plane almost stops at this point you must have a little power on to get it to pivot nicely on the cg, hit full rudder hold it in a little so you don't pengullum and that's all to it. Make sure to draw a strait downline.
