Re: What do you do?
Pitch it up?
Put men back on the leg side, probably a deep mid wicket, deep mid-on and maybe a deep forward square leg. By the fact that the ball was from the Off side, the ball probably isn't going to go behind square on the leg side.
Also maybe a bouncer every now and then, just to remind them who's boss

Re: What do you do?
I would just pitch them right up a foot or more out side of the off stump. Every ball would be trying to be a yorker or a full toss if I get it wrong. Have a field of Deep long off and on, Deep midwicket, third man, Deep cover and fine leg. Have the rest in the ring but the batsman will have to adjust after a while if you continue to bowl the same line. Switch it up here and there and send in a ball on the stumps.

Re: What do you do?
Change of pace and line length with intelligent field placement.
Judging the batsmen's reaction by watching him till the last moment before releasing the ball and hope for the best.
U can try this out in the nets to practice and prepare accordingly.
Best of Luck

Re: What do you do?
i learnt my lesson from this bloke i had to bowl to who played alot of cricket for WA (as a bowler), however he can still hit the ball hard, the danger with pitching it up is that if you get it a little wrong its a half volley and you will get hit onto the road, since then i have found the best thing to do is cramp the batsmen up for 1 or 2 deliveries then bang in a couple of yorkers and a slowerball/bouncer to finish
variation is the key

Re: What do you do?
If I have this happening to my pace bowling, I pitch one very wide towards off (but not an actual wide) and on a good to full length. See how they are on the off side when they actually have to play out there. There is no way a batsman can keep pulling things from the off side from way out there ball after ball.
Then target the stumps.
