How to make someone hit the shot they don't want to

So I was playing a guy today who has a good backhand, but his forehand really isn't that great. The kid doesn't give me any troubles, I think he got like 1 or 2 games on me. But I was just wondering what the best strategy is to make them hit their weaker shot. Is it a better strategy to pull their stronger side out wide, and then hit it far over to the other side of the court, hopefully forcing them to hit their weaker shot. (I'm also talking about people with really good forehands). Or would it be better to just attack their weaker side hoping they are forced to hit their weaker shot after a while?
thanks.
 
Of course you need both strategies.
First hit to weak side, then if they cover that, you hit wide to their strength and then go back to their weak side.
If they don't cover their weakness, you have no further questions.
