Media Does the AylexBadminton guy come off as a douche to anyone else?

Maybe it's just me but the Aylex guy just rubs me the wrong way for some reason. The way he talks to his guests feels rude and condescending. Anyone else feel the same way or is it just me?\

Edit: I absolutely get that the shit talking is part of the fun but it's just the way he does it that seems wrong? Like you can sometimes just feel if someone's just doing it for the fun of it or if they're genuinely upset, and it feels like he's the latter.

Training As a beginner how do i incorporate footwork ive been practicing into my games?

11 Upvotes

Ive been practicing footwork in my garage, mostly just split stepping and moving to all four corners but then when I get into the actual games I rarely incorporate them. My body just reacts to the shots and goes to the birdie without using the efficient footwork ive been practicing. Also, from what I've been learning youre supposed to split step right when your opponent hits the shot, but my prediction is so bad that I can't do a directional split step until after the birdie starts traveling
