Hi,
Try to get a finer contact on the ball. This will keep the ball lower and it will also get more spin on the ball.
Chopping is a lt about touch and feel of the ball. A high change in the angle of your racket will make a big difference in the height of the ball.
Also make sure you are keeping your hand relaxed, especially your thumb to allow the bat to absorb some of the speed and spin of your opponent.

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.

The thumb? I guess that's for a backhand chop?

It can be applied for forehand chop too...It is only about being relaxed.
