Hi Barbatel,
Thanks for the kind words.
To get these fast topspins back you need to develop the speed of watching the ball first. You can do this by doing some fast multi-ball. This will get your eyes and body used to seeing the ball coming at that speed.
Then focus on your technique of the Backhand Block.
One thing to also think about is to stop them from making such a fast shot by keeping the ball lower and deeper on the table.
