Hi John,
Because he isn't giving you much speed you should take your time. Wait for your opportunity when the ball is in a good position to make a strong attack.
Your stroke can be a little more forward swinging to generate the speed.
It can be frustrating playing these sorts of players but if you have some patience you will do well.

Taking my time actually worked better than I expected. I was worried that I might not be able to attack; but to my surprise, the opportunity would eventually come.
Thanks
