HI Amekun,

He is putting sidespin on the backhand block.  It is a very difficult shot to play and not one I would recommend everyone to try.  Only once you have developed good control with your block then you can start to play shots like these.  As you can see it can be effective but you are also increasing your chances of making an error.

Once you've mastered the start and finish position of the forehand topspin, you can start to focus on finer details. In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
