HI John,
Unfortunately we don't get the chance to get to England.
To counter the heavy backspin you need to have a more vertical topspin stroke. The more backspin the more vertical the topspin needs to be. If you haven't done it already, take a look at the lesson on Forehand Topspin against Backspin.
It will help you.
