How to pressurize a player who plays the early and is always close to the table?

I tried to put push or drives in wide forehand and Backhand but the player is good at both. I get caught after returning him wide and then change in direction often catch me out.

Hi Ryan,

Often the middle area can be a good place to target because this is there are they need to make a decision between the forehand and backhand. 

Give this area a try and see how you get on.
