Not really. I was the same way before with the paddle shifter.
I finally understood why it is the way it is.
You shift down before you turn & shift up after the turn.
So the hands are 9-10 & 2-3 o'clock both paddles are within reach
Before going into the turn click shift down paddle
with hand positions on LH @ 10 o'clock RH @ 2 o'clock
If you are turning LEFT after paddle down shifting,
you turn the steering wheel with your Right Hand from 2 o'clock to 9-7 o'clock depends on how much you need to turn.
or reposition RH to 4-5 o'clock & end up @ 12-10 o'clock position.
Your Left Hand is on stand by & off the steering wheel
your left hand is needed to control the steering wheel spin.
Gas &/or brake appropriately going into the turn.
After hitting the apex the steering wheel will straighten itself out.
Dont fight it, let it straighten itself out. Its automagic!
Use your Left hand to control the steering wheel spin
as your right hand should be free to position back @ 2-3 o'clock
& ready to shift up.
Steering wheel spin control take a little bit of practice but will help with your rapid handling maneuvers.
ps: Feel free to comment or add more driving techniques.
