Hi Sauruv,
Try serving the ball wide to start with and then place the next ball to the other corner. This si a simple tactic that can work for you.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
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.

Thank You Sir. It's really helping me to tire my opponent.

The usual placement tactic is: elbow, then wide to the side the opponent chose for the shot directed at his elbow. I find that serving wide to start with might provoke a counter-attack, especially on the forehand.
