Shuffle steering is when you shuffle, or move by some other means, your hands around the steering wheel as you turn it. It causes you not to have a consistent hand position on the wheel. While it isn't necessarily a ba dthing to do on the street, many people think its terrible to do on the track or during any kind of spirited driving. As I stated before, it causes you not to have that constant reference point as to where straight is. Also as someone else says, this position allows the car to give you the best amount of feedback that it can. If you do any kind of performance driving, you will learn to listen to what a car is telling you and adjust accordingly. If your hands are in a constant place, the signals your car is sending to you will normally mean the same thing. If your hands are moving around the wheel as you turn, the signal that you get at one point may mean something different than the same signal at a differnt point around the wheel.
