Palming is an advanced technique used by many professional drivers - it's proven to be safer than the "feeding the wheel technique" as well as a lot quicker and smoother. Also both hands can be on the wheel if it's done correctly.

The feeding the wheel technique has (at long last) been recognised for what it is - an out-dated, unsafe and not very smooth method.

Obviously palming is best used for manoeuvring and not necessarily the best technique when traveling at speed - but a professional or advanced driver would know this anyway.
