Hi Archel,
Yes it is a short push with a lot of backspin. YOu will notice how early he takes the ball after the bounce and it is just the angle of the bat that generates the spin. You don't need to do a lot with the ball to generate a lot of spin.
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
