Serve very short dead to light spin ball very short to his FH as close to net as you can and keep it low... he will have to step in severely, then have to step out... you do a quick push high to his BH and invite him to attack... since he may not have good recovery footwork, he will be off time off balance attacking and give you points...

Later, if he declines the attack, his push will likely be low quality and you can go on attack.

if you serve to his BH, serve long and fast, no-spin or topspin, you can make a variation with the placement, aiming for the far side of the table or aim for middle as well.

try to topspin many balls, with a lot of spin

One of the easiest kind of an opponent for me. Serve mostly sidespin/topspin, and attack the popping out balls, many of them just will go off the table, if you opponent will try to push them. But your serves should have really good amount of rotation for such an tactic, and you should must have well trained third ball attack
