Grip length
Adjust how high up the handle you hold the badminton racket: long and short grips.
Late forehand overhead
Adjust your grip to play an overhead forehand stroke when the shuttlecock has passed behind you.
Late backhand overhead
Adjust your grip to play an overhead backhand stroke when the shuttlecock has passed behind you.
Smash
Adjust your grip to play a smash when the shuttlecock is somewhat in front of your body. (for advanced players)
