If we have good badminton grip, we can control all the angle of the racket face. So that we can hit the shuttlecock in any direction that we want. 

Hand position

This is the correct hand position to hold the racket. The bottom of the hand should be at the level with the end of the racket handle. The palm must not more than the end of the handle. 

Finger position

If you hold the racket by clumping all your fingers, then it will become less effective to grip. In order to increase the effectiveness of your grip, you must make a small gap between your fingers while holding the racket. So the grip will become more sensitive.
