Hi Brian,
He is probably getting more backspin on the ball and has his bat more open (facing the roof). Then by brushing under the ball you will get the backspin that will make the ball float up more than going into the table.
Take a look at the lesson on the Backhand Chop.

Forehand Smash
The forehand smash is used when the ball is around shoulder height or above. It is a much harder stroke to play than it looks. Follow the tips on this video lesson to ensure your smash is an effective weapon.

ok, but what kind of drills should i practise?
Practice someone topspin to you and you chop consistently. Do this from one side, either forehand or backhand for a while. Just try to get the stroke correct and the spin contact on the ball. Try to get this consistent before moving on to doing one from each side alternately.
