Hi Jason,

They re all backhand strokes that are built on the same platform of a stroke.  The flick is the smallest of the strokes and then the counterhit and then the topspin.

Take a look at the tutorials on these three strokes and you will see the differences.

Backhand Flick
Backhand Counterhit
Backhand Topspin Against Block
