Hi Aahel,
We do have a Premium video on this, Curve with Backhand. It is no trick, it is a matter of getting the mechanics right. It is easiest if you get the contact a little outside your body to be able to swing through properly.

Strawberry Flick
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
