I'm going to try constraining myself to "good form" and "solid footwork" first before allowing those "reach" shots. Honestly that's what
This will serve the purpose of not only habitualizing proper footwork but also learning strategy and shot placement by making the consequences of poor shots more immediate, therefore shortening the feedback cycle. Also I'm pretty sure it also helps with lots of other things like racket position, general positioning, shot quality, etc.
The idea, of course, applies to everything, not just badminton. Sometimes generalizing and de-constraining helps particularly when there is some elegant expression in the non-constrained space (for example, see "Long-term motor learning: Effects of varied and specific practice" , but oftentimes holding one variable fixed is better for working memory and feedback, and thus better for learning.
