A rectangular pattern, if misjudged, may require high angles of bank, thereby creating the scenario for the low-altitude loss of control accident: low altitude, high angle of bank, low airspeed and uncoordinated turn, followed by an unrecoverable approach-turn stall.
Circular patterns: it turns out rounding off the corners is rather easy if you take it step by step
With the ball centered and no angle of bank, I started to get vertigo and distrust my instruments.

This is significant, because at that angle of bank, there is a 2-G load on the aircraft, making maintaining altitude more difficult.

According to the FAA, "A rule of thumb to determine the approximate angle of bank required for a standard rate turn is to use 15 percent of the true airspeed.

I'm sure to catch flack from paddles for that." Once upwind of the ship, with my interval in sight, I roll 60-degrees angle of bank, bring power to idle, and make a level-altitude break.

In other words, the rate of heading change--turn rate--is insufficient for the angle of bank. To fix this situation, step on the ball to apply more pressure to the right rudder pedal.
Coordinated flight: we usually think of it as requiring more or less rudder for the desired bank angle, but proper coordination requires using all controls, even the throttle
The lead began a 60-degree angle of bank descending turn back to the left but his wingman only used 35 degrees angle of bank.
