Movement recovery from the rearcourt is very much dependent on the shot played and balance on landing.

If you land in balance and have played a shot that gives you time such as a clear, then recovery can simply be walking or running steps back to base.

If you have played an attacking shot then recovery needs to be quicker as the shuttle flight time is quick and here the chasse movement is more often used.

If you need to change direction quickly during recovery, the chasse movement is advantageous because the feet do not cross over so should be ready to push off again as necessary.
