Apologies if this has been addressed before (didn't see it), but I have a question about the difference, if any, between inverted and short pips technique for forehand chopping. I noticed in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw8zmH7Js2Y (this is the same forehand rubber I use) that when they're showing the guy doing chopping practice, the stroke seems reasonably similar to inverted, but when they're showing match play, starting at around the 30-second mark, his chopping stroke is much shorter, and the blade angle is maybe a bit more open, than what I'd expect with inverted. Anyone have any views on what the most effective short pips forehand chopping technique is and how it differs from inverted? Thanks.

Don't have much experience with short pips on the forehand...the little bit I do have however, the technique is the same as inverted however with more forgiveness. Analyzing people's chop technique on the forehand will give you a very wide range of techniques....however they all have the same fundamental weight transfer between legs waist turning and let the arm relax with the follow through and use your wrist to control the spin
