Compared to Agassi and Federer, it looks like Paradorn doesn't coil back enough, doesn't stretch the off forearm out parallel to the baseline, and bails out with the off arm earlier. In short, he doesn't look like he's utilizing rotational forces as well as Agassi and Federer. Perhaps that's why it looks like he's arming the ball on his forehands. Don't get me wrong--it's a huge forehand, but it's inconsistent and looks very muscled/forced.
