It is much more powerful then a DFGT which makes it spin much faster, although all of the motions are the same when it comes to drifting. Looking at various YouTube videos of the DFGT I can safely say that. My dad owns a G27 and all of the motions are exactly the same when I hop on it to drift.
I personally don't know exactly how to DFGT acts when drifting because I have never gotten the opportunity to drift with one. I can though assume it is slower during free spin and maybe even harder to find the contently moving "sweet spot" when balancing a car due to a weaker motor.
My point I guess is that even if someone has a different, faster, or slower wheel they still can provide a lot of useful information about how to drift on a wheel. I know I have helped a lot of people with different wheels not only through the forum but through my videos, and sometimes on track as well.
I keep my hands at the side and let the wheel do the counter steering and catch it at the right point. I do also rock back and forth like you said like milking a cow ha ha.
Yeah that is pretty much it. When you're starting out it helps if after you counter steer when balancing to rock side to side with the wheel as some have said. When you rock the wheel back and forth you will find the sweet spot eventually but keep in mind that spot is always moving around.
It is not random though, usually when you initiate a drift you require more counter steering at the beginning when catching the car, then you have to feed and/or steer the wheel back into the drift to give yourself more angle and also to prevent "snapback". After you have fed the wheel back in there is usually a need for more counter steering after you have gotten more angle, at this point you are past the apex and onto the exit of the corner and should be ending your drift and returning your wheel to center.
There are also four reasons for "snapback" during drifting, this is when your car snaps in the direction you're counter steering. Here are some reasons I have found why a car would "snapback" during a drift.
1. You have counter steered to much, this is kind of obvious when it happens and you should be able to root it out pretty fast.
2. you are in to low of a gear. So you are in second gear lets say drifting and your bouncing off of the rev limiter. After a bit of this on some corners you will have used up all of your power to keep the drift going, this results in the weight of the car shifting forward onto the front tires giving them grip sending you in the direction you're counter steering.
3. You are not putting enough power down, this is very similar to number two but you would be in the correct gear for that corner. So you're not putting enough power down basically 🤬 footing it, after a while of not enough throttle and/or no throttle your cars weight will shift forward onto the front tires giving them grip sending you in the direction you're counter steering.
4. You have not fed and/or steered your wheel back into the drift fast enough. This is somewhat like number one but is much harder to figure out when learning. This can happen at three points of your drift once after initiating and catching, once when balancing your car, and once again when ending you're drift.
4A. So you have initiated your drift and caught your car but have not fed/steered back into the drift fast enough, weight will shift forward onto the front tires giving them grip sending you in the direction you're counter steering.
4B. (This relates directly to number one.) So you've caught your car and fed/steered back into the drift fast enough to get more angle, and or you're balancing the car if you counter steer to much during this point you'll most likely snapback.
4C. (this also relates to number one.) So you've successfully balanced your car and are now onto the exit of the corner, if you counter steer to much at this point and/or haven't returned your wheel to center you will snapback.
Hope this helps.

rologue) wheel is delayed or something compared to other wheels?
