"Hopping" With tank style turning.

Alright. Our robot is configured to have all 4 wheels being driven, two motors on each side drive each sides wheels. To steer, it obviously slows down one side, or to spin on a dime, one side goes forward, the other backwards. The problem is... the robot seems to "hop", and the motors get really loaded when turning and especially when trying to spin. We are using the IFI Robot Wheels which are extremely grippy. I notice that alot of teams steer like this... and i'd like to know how they overcome the probelm we are having. Thanks.
