Like to watch his footwork.

He actually started to practice that. It looks kinda cool on clay ;)
-
thats normal. its not hard to do. he just doesnt hit over his shoulder because he doesnt have a western grip
-
It's not only the technique, its also the raquet and the strings. A heavier raquet(like his) produces much more spin than a lighter raquet using the same swing. I bought a 334 grs raquet and all my shots now have twice the spin they had before, Roger also uses a string combination of natural gut and other kind of nylon gut, which creates even more spin. All this things just improve the massve spin he alredy generates with his wrist.

but then how does he generate spin? It seems like he doesnt even come below the ball, but almost hits it flat but it has so much spin

the best quality videos on Youtube. Grande Waitaro xxx
Notice how his forehand doesn't scoop way up over his shoulder, but in fact rarely even comes up over his shoulder at all. It's more wrapping around his body.
Roger is amazing.

It also has a lot to do with the head of the racquet face. It's just like how in the past people like Pete Sampras were able to generate spin with a very modest grip. You can generate a lot of spin by adjusting the angle with your wrist and driving through the ball. It causes the ball to move forward opposed to whipping UP the ball more (Rafa) which causes the ball to kick up more.
