Balls and bubbles do the same thing!
I took off in the Sopwith Pup, its bubble went left, this confused me for a second, then I correctly applied right rudder... Like the tuft of wool on a glider's canopy, the rudder input is opposite to the indication.
The thing about the ball is, if it's in the middle, and there's no turn, then your wings are level, unless the ball's stuck!
If your don't go into a seriously steep bank, you can use the ball and compass to at least have the semblance of wings level.... Get into more than a gentle bank and all is lost.
