Hi,
Sounds like this opponent has a good counter attack. Think about moving the ball around to different positions to stop this stroke. See where he likes it from and then change the direction of your attack. Sometimes this will make a big difference.
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
