Jerky Turns - Unofficial answer

So, I solved my problem in my other thread, but I have a new problem! My robot turns jerkily, and I think it has to do with the amount of code it has to sift through to indentify turning speed. Here is the code(new and improved):

if (vexRT[Ch1] < 10 && vexRT[Ch1] > -50)
{
motor[left] = -50;
motor[right] = 50;
}
else if(vexRT[Ch1] < -51 && vexRT[Ch1] > -100)
{
motor[left] = -100;
motor[right] = 100;
}
else if(vexRT[Ch1] < -101 && vexRT[Ch1] > -128)
{
motor[left] = -127;
motor[right] = 127;
}
else if(vexRT[Ch1] > 10 && vexRT[Ch1] < 50)
{
motor[left] = 50;
motor[right] = -50;
}
else if(vexRT[Ch1] > 51 && vexRT[Ch1] < 100)
{
motor[left] = 100;
motor[right] = -100;
}
else if(vexRT[Ch1] > 101 && vexRT[Ch1] < 128)
{
motor[left] = 127;
motor[right] = -127;
}
else
{
motor[left] = 0;
motor[right] = 0;
}

Typo ??

if (vexRT[Ch1] < 10 && vexRT[Ch1] > -50)

Should be

if (vexRT[Ch1] < -10 && vexRT[Ch1] > -50)
