Hi,
How do I deal with backhand dominant player?

Hi Tri,
The main thing is to move them away from their backhand corner. You can start with a short serve or return to the forehand to get them away from their comfortable position.
These players may also have a weaker middle area if you go slightly to the forehand side of their body as they tend to be very square to the table or even have their right foot slightly forward.

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.
