Hi David,
Be patient. If he doesn't attack much, wait for the right ball and then attack it fast. In this situation, he will want you to attack so that he can use your pace.
We do have a Match Strategy lesson on Playing A Blocker.

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.
