Hi Christian,

For the backhand flick mainly use your wrist but the forearm follows through slightly as well.  To flick really hard when you have a lot of time you can use more forearm.

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.
