Hi Samuel,

To chop with inverted rubber takes a bit of touch. You need to have a softer more relaxed hand to keep the ball from flying off the end.

This something that you can practice during a training session. Work on it for a few weeks and then see if you can implement it in a match.

Remember touch is the key. Perhaps see if your bat is too fast as well.
