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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
